Charges could be coming to Fulton County election probe

Brant Sanderlin via AJC

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will announce “charging decisions” resulting from an investigation of alleged interference by then-President Donald Trump in Georgia’s 2020 elections between July 11 and the beginning of September.

The special grand jury completed its work late last year after hearing from 75 witnesses.

After a coalition of media organizations sought public release of the panel’s report, Fulton Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney allowed some of it to be released in February. The portion the public got to see indicated the grand jury was recommending that one or more witnesses be charged with perjury but it did not include the names of the witnesses.

The timing of the announcement of charges between July 11 and Sept. 1 coincides with a period the court will be in session.
