FULTON COUNTY INDICTMENT
A Grand Jury of citizens has indicted Donald Trump on 13 criminal counts. The regular grand jury heard from multiple witnesses, including state elections officials, about Donald Trump and his allies’ conduct in trying to overturn the will of the voters and invalidate the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Prior to the August grand jury, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis previously convened a special purpose grand jury to investigate Donald Trump and his allies to determine if they attempted to unlawfully interfere with the results of the 2020 Georgia Presidential Election. The special grand jury, after months of reviewing evidence and interviewing witnesses, filed a report recommending charges against multiple individuals, though who they recommended charging and for what is not yet known. Their report was provided to the regular grand jury as part of its consideration evaluating whether or not to indict Donald Trump and his allies.

A JURY OF OUR PEERS
UNDERSTANDING THE FULTON GRAND JURY INDICTMENTS
A grand jury of Georgia citizens has issued indictments related to efforts by Donald Trump and his allies’ alleged efforts to overturn the will of the voters and invalidate the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. In so doing, the grand jury considered recommendations made by a special grand jury in January 2023.
This initial special grand jury of 23 Georgia citizens began reviewing evidence and hearing testimony related to or from at least 75 different witnesses back in May of 2022. They reviewed evidence for eight months, and ultimately recommended multiple indictments. While the indictment recommendations in their report have still not been made fully public, some portions have been released.
At the same time the special grand jury recommended indictments for certain individuals based on alleged attempts to overturn the election based on unsupported claims of “fraud”, the special grand jury found NO evidence of widespread election fraud in Georgia that could have affected the 2020 election.
The regular grand jury reviewed evidence and heard from multiple witnesses, including state elections officials in August of 2023. The indictments they issued are the result of two separate juries of American citizens and community members carefully considering the evidence and deciding criminal charges are appropriate.
Many Trump allies and supporters have already gone to prison to protect Trump, many believing that he would protect them. The indictments recommended by a grand jury in Fulton County, stand only to add to that list.
