Special grand jury also concludes there was no widespread fraud in the 2020 election
Some witnesses may have lied under oath during a grand jury probe of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat in Georgia, according to excerpts from the panel's findings released on Thursday.
Trump, who is seeking the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, was not subpoenaed as a witness and did not appear before the grand jury, his lawyers have said. Graham said when asked about the report’s reference to possible perjury: “I’ll leave that up to them to figure it out. I’m confident of what I said.”
Fulton County superior court judge Robert McBurney in a Monday order said the report included “a roster of who should be indicted”. But the judge ruled those details would stay secret for now out of concern that people named have not had an adequate opportunity to defend themselves.Steve Sadow, an Atlanta criminal defence attorney, said perjury is typically charged in connection with other crimes.
The Georgia investigation is one of several threatening Trump, including separate US justice department inquiries into his retention of classified materials after leaving office as well as his efforts to invalidate the 2020 election results.
