The special grand jury in Fulton County investigating the 2020 presidential election in Georgia recommended charges against Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and former GOP Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler of Georgia, according to the special counsel grand jury report released Friday.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis did not charge the lawmakers when she returned an indictment last month against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants in the sprawling racketeering case. It was up to the district attorney to decide how closely to stick to the special grand jury’s recommendations. The senators have denied any wrongdoing related to the election.
“I never asked to set aside ballots or anything else,” Graham told reporters at a South Carolina event. “After the conversation, I decided it was best for me to vote to certify the election, because I didn’t have enough confidence in my own mind to overturn it.” Graham added that he is “standing with President Trump,” who he believes will be the Republican presidential nominee. “He can be a handful at times, but I thought he was a good president,” Graham said.
