Jurors will soon vote on whether Fulton County prosecutors have enough evidence to charge the former president or his allies in the 2020 election investigation.
A grand jury is due to be sworn in on Tuesday in Georgia that could vote that Donald Trump should face charges over allegations he committed a crime while trying to overturn the 2020 election.
For two and a half years, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office has been investigating Trump and his allies over their actions in the days and weeks after President Joe Biden won the last presidential election. Trump has frequently denied any wrongdoing and has called the probe a «witch hunt» against him.
Willis’ investigation originally focused on Trump’s January, 2021 phone call with Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger in which the former president asked him to «find» 11,870 votes, which would have helped him beat Biden in the last election.
The probe has since expanded into other areas, including allegations the former president and his allies plotted to send a group of fake electors to falsely claim that Trump had won Georgia in 2020.
As part of the inquiry, a grand jury will now be seated on July 11.
