Court sets Jan. 24 hearing on whether to reveal recommendations regarding whether Trump violated Georgia law.
The Atlanta-area special grand jury investigating efforts by Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election has concluded its investigation, according to the state judge overseeing the probe.
Judge Robert McBurney acknowledged the conclusion of the investigation in a two-page order, noting that the panel “has now issued its final report,” but it’s unclear what the grand jury put in its report regarding Trump.
The special grand jury is expected to make a charging recommendation related to Trump and other targets, about whether their efforts to overturn the 2020 election violated state law. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis must then make the ultimate charging decision after presenting the panel’s findings to a regular grand jury.
The special grand jury has been operating for a year and hauled in testimony from some of Trump’s closest allies, including former chief of staff Mark Meadows, attorney Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
The panel’s recommendations remain unclear, but McBurney has set a Jan. 24 hearing to consider whether to unseal the panel’s recommendations and findings. Whether any of its substantive conclusions will be revealed before then is also unclear.
