Will a Georgia Grand Jury Indict Trump and Allies for Election Interference?

The selection of the Fulton County grand jury in Georgia is expected to determine whether former President Donald Trump and his allies will face indictment for their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The investigation, led by District Attorney Fani Willis, was launched in early 2021 after Trump's attempts to pressure Georgia officials to change the election results. A special grand jury previously heard from 75 witnesses and issued a redacted report with charging recommendations. Now, two new panels will be selected, with one expected to handle the Trump probe. The grand jurors will be responsible for deciding whether to bring formal charges against Trump and other figures. The indictment could potentially be obtained between July 31 and August 18, according to Willis. The burden of proof for a grand jury to indict is lower than for a trial jury to convict or acquit. If Trump is charged, it will be his third indictment, following charges in Manhattan for falsifying business records. The grand jury's decisions are anticipated to be made in August, and the case has drawn significant attention due to its political implications.
