Former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler were also among those who were recommended for indictments.
The special grand jury, a quirk of Georgia law, had no power to issue indictments but was required to make recommendations to Willis, who could then pursue charges through a traditional grand jury. All of the figures Willis charged last month alongside Trump were on the list identified by the special grand jury.
The newly released report also indicates there was some dissent among the 23 special grand jurors and three alternates assigned to hear evidence related to the election probe. Seven jurors, for instance, dissented from the recommendation to indict Graham, and six opposed indicting Loeffler.It’s unclear if Willis will still seek indictments against some of the figures who have not yet been charged. She has called for a trial of Trump and his 18 codefendants on March 4, though the date seems to be in flux.
Graham came under scrutiny for his efforts to contact Georgia election officials after the 2020 election and press them on vote-counting procedures while in the middle of an ongoing recount. Graham resisted testifying to the special grand jury — claiming he was immune from compelled testimony because of constitutional protections for members of Congress — and took his fight to the Supreme Court.
