Prosecutors in the Atlanta area are reportedly contemplating conspiracy and racketeering charges in the sprawling inquiry into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
A special grand jury enlisted to assist in the inquiry recommended multiple indictments, and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could reach a decision about those recommendations by springtime, CNN reported.“The reason that I am a fan of RICO is, I think jurors are very, very intelligent,” Willis said over the summer. “They want to know what happened. They want to make an accurate decision about someone’s life.
Since the beginning of the inquiry, investigators have amassed a trove of emails, text messages, testimony, phone calls, and more. The special grand jury, which was picked in May of last year, has called upon some 75 witnesses, including some who were in Trump's orbit, such as Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sen. Lindsey Graham .
“A lot’s gonna come out sooner or later,” one juror told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “And it’s gonna be massive. It’s gonna be massive.” Investigators have at least three recordings of Trump badgering Peach State officials about the election, including one revealed recently in which Trump pressured Georgia House Speaker David Ralston to convene a special session to overturn the election — a request that went unfulfilled.
