A special grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, has heard an audio recording of former President Donald Trump pressuring Georgia House Speaker David Ralston to call a special session to overturn the 2020 election results in the state, according to a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The five anonymous grand jurors who spoke to the AJC said the recording of Trump’s call to Ralston was heard during the investigation into whether Trump and his allies illegally meddled in the 2020 election in Georgia. The recording has not been made public and had not been previously reported.
The grand jury is the third to hear an audio recording of Trump’s phone calls to Georgia officials. The other two recordings were of Trump’s calls to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and to Governor Brian Kemp.
The recordings of Trump’s calls to Raffensperger and Kemp have been widely reported and have been the subject of much speculation. The recording heard by the grand jury, however, has not been made public and its contents are not known.
The grand jury was convened to investigate whether Trump and his allies illegally meddled in the 2020 election in Georgia. It is unclear whether the recording of Trump’s call to Ralston will be used as evidence in the investigation.
The investigation into Trump’s actions in Georgia is ongoing, and the results of the grand jury’s investigation have yet to be released. It is unclear what, if any, action will be taken as a result of the investigation.
