Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis told a judge Tuesday she opposes releasing to the public a report by a special purpose grand jury that spent months investigating former President Donald Trump's behavior after the 2020 election.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis watches as potential jurors are excused during proceedings to seat a special purpose grand jury in Georgia on May 2, 2022, to look into the actions of former President Donald Trump and his supporters who tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election.Attorneys for a broad coalition of media organizations, including CBS News, submitted a filing Monday arguing that"the public interest in the report is extraordinary.
Prosecutor Donald Wakefield said the office isn't necessarily opposed to releasing it in the future, but wants it kept secret until charging decisions are made. "We believe the report should be released now, and in its entirety, and that approach is consistent with the way the American judicial system operates," said Tom Clyde, an attorney for the media coalition.
Attorneys for Trump said in an emailed statement Monday that"to date, we have never been a part of this process."
