Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis asked a court to keep the Georgia special grand jury’s report on its investigation into Donald Trump’s repeated attempts to undermine the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, claiming that the information in the report should not be released until her office and a separate grand jury determine appropriate charges. The filing supports a lower court ruling to keep the report from public, with Trump’s lawyers and others attempting to force the release of the report.
A special grand jury in Georgia is an additional outlet for investigation: unlike a standard grand jury, a Georgia special grand jury can conduct into a specific charge or subject, but it cannot issue an indictment.
