A grand jury in Georgia has recommended that indictments be issued in an ongoing investigation into former US President Donald Trump, according to a report from the New York Times. The grand jury’s forewoman, Emily Kohrs, told the outlet that the jury’s recommendations are “not going to be some giant plot twist” and that a number of individuals are on the list to be indicted. “It is not a short list,” Kohrs said. When asked specifically if Donald Trump would be recommended for indictment, Kohrs said, “You’re not going to be shocked. It’s not rocket science,” adding, “You won’t be too surprised.” The grand jury, empaneled last May, had subpoenaed dozens of people as it investigated alleged attempts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. The subpoenaed individuals include Trump lawyer and former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Sen. Lindsey Graham, former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The investigation was launched by Fulton County DA Fani Willis after audio of Trump’s call with Raffensperger was leaked in which the president pushed him to illegally alter the results in Georgia. “All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have,” Trump told Raffensperger. “Because we won the state.” The grand jury’s decision is ultimately only a recommendation. Grand juries in Georgia cannot themselves indict and individual; however, their decision carries weight with DA Willis, who will make the final decision over whether to prosecute Trump. (AP)
