Georgia 2020 Election: Investigation on Donald Trump

Georgia 2020 Election: Investigation on Donald Trump

Georgia 2020 Election: Investigation on Donald Trump

An important milestone in one of several criminal investigations into the former president has been reached following months of testimony from a special grand jury that was convened in  Atlanta last year as part of an inquiry into efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to annul the results of the 2020 election. In a sort of media tour on Tuesday (21st February  2023) the chair of a special grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, established to look into potential references to action by former President Donald Trump and his allies, revealed some of the findings of her panel that had previously been kept under wraps. 

The foreperson of a grand jury that investigated President Trump’s efforts to overturn his state-level defeat in the 2020 election allegedly recommended multiple criminal indictments. Grand jury investigations, including the one into Trump, are typically shrouded in secrecy, but Emily  Kohrs’ (foreperson of the special grand jury empanelled from May 2022 through January  2023 to help Fulton County, Georgia, prosecutors investigate Donald Trump), public comments have breached that wall. Although the special grand jury has no authority to issue an indictment, it can make recommendations for a criminal prosecution, which could ultimately be presented by a different grand jury. 

The special grand jury’s final report, which concluded that several witnesses may have lied under oath and included recommendations to prosecutors on potential prosecutions for election meddling, was made public last week after a Georgia court ordered the release of select sections of the report.

Any ensuing cases might be more difficult as a result of Kohrs’ comments, which swiftly got attention on cable news and the internet. Moreover, the public may become less confident in the criminal justice system as a whole. Dan Abrams, Chief legal expert for ABC News spoke about Kohrs’ outspoken comments, “She shouldn’t be doing this.” She seems to be pressuring the district attorney to file charges, which doesn’t enhance the public’s perception of the fairness of the criminal justice system. 

Kohrs seems to have refrained from directly transgressing the special grand jury’s charter,  which forbids members from disclosing the details of their private discussions to the public.  Nonetheless, experts concurred that her public statements may be used against her in subsequent litigation, either as proof of bias in a petition to dismiss or in a motion to change the venue. Trump’s legal team has been monitoring Kohrs’ press appearances and has already begun thinking about the possibilities if charges are brought against him. Trump criticised  Kohrs for her comments, calling them “evidence of an illegal Kangaroo Court” and a  “continuation of the largest Witch Hunt of all time.” 

The jury was dissolved by Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney after it turned in its findings last month. Although he did not forbid jurors from discussing the portions of the report that were made public, he did prevent them from disclosing specifics about their deliberations,  which experts said made Kohrs’ comments look terrible. No indictments could have been brought by the special grand jury. It would have to request the consent of a regular grand jury to do that.

Soon after Trump called a state official in January 2021 and asked him to “find” more votes to overturn Democratic President Joseph Biden’s election victory, Willis launched the special grand jury probe. Trump keeps claiming erroneously that extensive voter fraud cost him the 

2020 election. He has claimed that Willis, an elected Democrat, is persecuting him for political gain, although he has denied any wrongdoing. 

Find 11,780 votes 

On January 2, 2021, Trump called Georgia’s top election official, Brad Raffensperger, and falsely asserted that the results were rigged. The call’s recording was leaked. About the 11,779-vote margin by which Biden won the state, Trump remarked, “I just want to find 11,780 votes,  which is one more than we have. A mob of Trump backers stormed the American Capitol four days later in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Congress from confirming Biden’s victory. In a failed attempt to give Trump Georgia’s electoral votes rather than Biden, a group of alternate electors falsely claimed that Trump had won the state. This technique has also been looked at by Willis. 

Throughout the course of their several-month investigation, the jury “received testimony from or involving 75 witnesses,” and in January they handed in their final report. As Willis conducts her investigation and considers whether to file charges, Judge McBurney authorised the release of some of that report earlier this month, although it contained little information about the grand jury’s conclusions. The particular charging suggestions are “for the District Attorney’s eyes only — for the time being,” McBurney commanded. 

The Grand Jury recommends that the District Attorney seek suitable prosecutions for such crimes where the evidence is persuasive” and that “the Grand Jury feels that perjury may have been committed by one or more witnesses testifying before it. However, Trump declared his  “complete exoneration” and thanked the grand jury for its efforts. Due to her remarks, Emily Kohrs’ safety and security should be prioritized. In response to the threats of violence and worse that vocal opponents of the previous president and others who have exposed corruption within his government have faced, Kohrs has been accused of putting herself at risk. The outcome shouldn’t be adversely affected by her decision to discuss one of our country’s most crucial concerns publicly.
