The investigation looks at if Trump and his allies committed a crime in their efforts to overturn the 2020 election
in Fulton county, Georgia has been investigating whether Donald Trump committed a crime under state law when he tried to overturn the 2020 election by pressuring state officials to try and overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the state.
The grand jury concluded its work earlier this month. On Tuesday, there will be a hearing to determine whether the grand jury’s report should be made public. The special grand jury – which consisted of 23 jurors and three alternates – has recommended its report be made public.Trump and allies have yet to face any criminal consequences for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The Fulton county probe could be the first time that charges are filed against Trump and allies for those efforts.
A regular grand jury is seated for a set amount of time and hears a wide range of cases. It ultimately can issue an indictment.Not necessarily. The special grand jury likely has made a recommendation on whether to bring charges to Fani Willis, a Democrat serving in her first term as the Fulton county district attorney. Willis can go to a regular grand jury and seek indictments. Tuesday’s hearing could provide a glimpse into Willis’ thinking about how to move forward.

‘Stroll down memory lane’: A look at Joe Biden’s ‘extravagant plagiarising and lying’Sky News host Rita Panahi has taken a “stroll down memory lane” and looked at US President Joe Biden’s “extravagant plagiarising and lying”. “You may be shocked to know his dodgy ways were evident even in college,” Ms Panahi said. “Every word Donald Trump ever uttered has been fact-checked by activist reporters, but Biden managed to go through an entire presidential campaign without having to answer for his litany of lies. “Even in office, the bulk of the media has ignored his habit of lying about verifiable facts, figures and events.”
