The special grand jury that investigated possible election interference by former President Donald Trump and others in Georgia's 2020 presidential election results recommended indictments against multiple individuals, according to its forewoman.
She declined to discuss specific indictments or give any names.
The news comes more than a month after the Atlanta grand jury completed its investigation into Trump and his allies.
Their decision on whether or not to recommend indictments went directly to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D).
If Willis decides to indict anyone, including Trump, they will be forced to travel to Georgia.
As The New York Times reports:
“It is not a short list,” the forewoman, Emily Kohrs, said, adding that the jury had appended eight pages of legal code “that we cited at various points in the report.”
She declined to discuss who specifically the special grand jury recommended for indictment, since the judge handling the case decided to keep those details secret when he made public a few sections of the report last week. But seven sections that are still under wraps deal with indictment recommendations, Ms. Kohrs said.
Asked whether the jurors had recommended indicting Mr. Trump, Ms. Kohrs gave a cryptic answer: “You're not going to be shocked. It's not rocket science,” adding “you won't be too surprised.”
The investigation in Atlanta has been seen as one of the most significant legal threats to Mr. Trump as he begins another run for the presidency. In November, the Justice Department named a special counsel, Jack Smith, to oversee two Trump-related criminal investigations. And last month, the Manhattan district attorney's office began presenting evidence to a grand jury on whether Mr. Trump paid hush money to a porn star during his 2016 presidential campaign, laying the groundwork for potential criminal charges against the former president in the coming months.
