Fulton special grand jury recommended 39 indictments

Members of the Fulton County special purpose grand jury that investigated interference in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election recommended that more than three dozen allies of former President Donald Trump be indicted for alleged crimes, more than double the number who were ultimately charged.

The recommendations — which included U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, ex-Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and former Georgia U.S. Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler — were contained in the 23-person jury’s final report, which was released in full on Friday. The 28-page document was finalized in January but most of its contents were quickly sealed by a judge at the request of Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis.

In August, a separate criminal grand jury handed up a 41-count racketeering indictment against 19 people, using testimony and other information that was collected in part by the special grand jury.
