The South Carolina senator and Donald Trump supporter was found by the grand jury as least likely to have committed election-related crimes.
The Fulton County grand jury’s full report was released in full on Friday, over two years after originally convening to look into whether former President Donald Trump and his allies allegedly interfered with Georgia’s electoral results. Their report was finalized on January 9 following a years-long investigation led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Last month, Trump and 18 others were charged with 41 total counts—including all facing one count in violation of the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act that makes it a crime to participate in a « pattern of racketeering activity » or conspiring to do so. All defendants have pleaded not guilty.
The nine-page report not only recommended charges against Graham, the South Carolina senator and an ardent Trump supporter, but also against former Georgia U.S. Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, former White House national security advisor Michael Flynn, current Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, and attorney Lin Wood.
The grand jury voted 13-7, 14-6 and 17-4 in favor of indicting Graham, Loeffler and Perdue, respectively, including one abstention in each of the votes for Graham and Loeffler.
