Takeaways from the partial release of a Georgia grand jury report on Trump and 2020 election
< < Go Back
Portions of the highly anticipated report from a special grand jury in Georgia that investigated Donald Trump’s actions in the state after the 2020 election were released Thursday, revealing two findings of its monthslong probe but leaving many key questions unaddressed.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ordered the limited release earlier this week, writing in his order that the report’s introduction and conclusion, as well as concerns the grand jury panel had about witnesses lying under oath, will be made public.
McBurney was clear that other findings by the special grand jury won’t be made public yet – particularly the parts where the report makes recommendations about potential charges. That’s because some of the people named in those recommendations may not have appeared in grand jury proceedings so far.
No individuals were therefore listed by name in Thursday’s release.
The portions released Thursday were brief, totaling just nine pages.
Here are takeaways from the release:
- No widespread voter fraud in Georgia
- Potential perjury charges
- Waiting for word on Trump
- How the special grand jury operated
- More of the report could come out
