“So the parts that were released today said that the grand jurors believed that some of the witnesses who had come in to speak to them had committed perjury. That's to say they lied under oath. The grand jurors recommended that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis seek charges where appropriate. The grand jury also found that there was no evidence of widespread election fraud during the 2020 election in Georgia.”

“Former President Trump was not one of the roughly 75 people who was who testified before the special grand jury. So he is not one of the people that they believe committed perjury. The investigation is ongoing, and this just draws attention to the multiple investigations that he is facing as he seeks a third term in office.”

STORYLINE:
A special grand jury investigating efforts by then-President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia says it believes "one or more witnesses" committed perjury, and it's urging local prosecutors to bring charges.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should “seek appropriate indictments for such crimes where the evidence is compelling,” according to portions of the special grand jury's final report that were released on Thursday.
The sections that were made public are silent on key details, including who the panel believes committed perjury and what other specific charges should be pursued. But it marks the first time the grand jurors' recommendations for criminal charges tied to the case have been made public. And it's a reminder of the intensifying legal challenges facing the former president as he ramps up his third White House bid amid multiple legal investigations.
