The Fulton County special grand jury, which was established last year to hear evidence related to Georgia's 2020 election, released its full report of the case on Friday after previously only releasing a portion of it publicly.
The report revealed that the grand jury had recommended charges against high-profile figures in Georgia who were not named in District Attorney Fani Willis's indictment in August.The sweeping indictment ultimately charged 19 people, including former President Donald Trump, with felony racketeering violations over allegations they conspired to overturn the presidential election in Georgia.
The jurors sought charges against Sen. Lindsey Graham , a vocal Trump supporter, and former Georgia Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, both of whom ran for reelection in Georgia and narrowly lost in highly contentious Senate runoff races in January 2021. The report also showed recommended charges against attorney Lin Wood, who railed against alleged voter fraud in Georgia in the aftermath of 2020 and suggested voters stay home for the runoffs instead of voting because of said fraud.
Willis charged Trump with 13 counts in total, which included, in addition to racketeering, making false statements, conspiring to commit impersonating a public officer, and conspiring to commit forgery.The report showed the grand jury was torn on charging others under investigation.
