Georgia grand jury report will detail 'concerns that witnesses lied under oath': judge
Raw StoryPortions of a special grand jury report set to be released later this week will include concerns about certain witnesses potentially perjuring themselves while testifying about former President Donald Trump's efforts to remain in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden. As flagged by Law and Crime News' Adam Klasfeld, Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney ruled that three portions of the special grand jury's report are of public interest and can be safely released without fear of harming prospective defendants' ability to receive a fair trial: The introduction, the conclusion, and a section where the grand jury "discusses its concern that some witnesses may have lied under oath." Several high-profile supporters of former President Donald Trump testified before the Georgia special grand jury, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, attorney John Eastman, and Sen. Lindsey Graham. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's office has been investigating Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia, which included setting up a slate of fake electors who would vote for Trump instead of President Joe Biden, as well as an infamous phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which he encouraged the Republican official to "find" the 12,000 votes he needed to overtake Biden in the state.
