Trump GA Trial: Special Grand Jury Report Released In Subversion Case

ATLANTA, GA — The full special grand jury report that helped lead to the Georgia indictment of former U.S. President Donald J. Trump and 18 others was released Friday morning through the Fulton County Court of Clerks Office, and it shows the Fulton County grand jury recommended indictments against 39 people in the subversion case.

"The special grand jury spent seven months hearing from some 75 witnesses before completing a report in December with recommendations for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Willis had said she needed the panel's subpoena power to compel the testimony of witnesses who might otherwise not have been willing to appear," the Associated Press reported earlier Friday.

Trump and 18 other people, including top state and national officials, are accused of trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. Trump lost the state to the current U.S. President Joe Biden in a historic move.

The former president's hourlong January 2, 2021 phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, during which he reportedly asked Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes," was a factor in the grand jury recommending indictments against the former president. NBC News released the full phone call on YouTube.

Trump was charged on suspicion of violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, three counts of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer, conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer, two counts of first-degree conspiracy to commit forgery, two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings, conspiracy to commit filing false documents, filing false documents and false statements and writings. He was released on a $200,000 bond.

Other notable public figures charged include former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, multiple attorneys and Georgia Sen. Shawn Still.

An official trial date has not yet been set for Trump.
