(Washington) A grand jury in the United States investigating interference by Donald Trump’s camp in the 2020 presidential election in the state of Georgia has recommended indictments against several people, the main juror revealed to American media on Tuesday. , without specifying whether the former president was concerned.
The grand jury has been busy for seven months examining accusations that Donald Trump and his allies tried to change the results of the presidential election in the southern state of Georgia, which voted for Joe Biden.
Emily Kohrs told MSNBC, “It’s not a short list” to discuss the number of people targeted by these grand jury recommendations, and the grievances against them. But the juror did not name names.
Mme Kohrs also told the outlet that more than a dozen people were targeted.
On this list, “there are certainly names that you would recognize”, she added before specifying: “There are also names that you might not recognize”.
Emily Kohrs did not reveal whether Donald Trump himself, who recently announced his candidacy for the White House for 2024, was on that list.
The juror, on the other hand, affirmed to the New York Times that people would not be “shocked” by the jury’s revelations. “It’s not rocket science,” she said.
The 23-juror investigative panel received testimony from 75 witnesses, including one of Donald Trump’s former White House chiefs of staff, Mark Meadows, and Republican Senator from South Carolina Lindsey Graham. , and the ex-mayor of New York and former lawyer for Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani.
A Georgia judge cleared the release last week of three redacted sections of the grand jury report, revealing that its members found no evidence of large-scale voter fraud, undermining Donald Trump’s claims that the election was stolen from him.
Local prosecutor Fani Willis will make the final decision on whether or not to indict those targeted by the grand jury’s recommendations.
The investigation was launched after a call from Donald Trump on January 2, 2021, in which he urged electoral officials to “find” the 11,780 votes he needed to win this state against Joe Biden.
It’s one of multiple investigations examining the potentially criminally wrongdoing of the former Republican president and those close to him, accused of hatching a plan to stay in power despite losing the 2020 presidential election.
