Parts of a Georgia grand jury report on former US President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat in the state are due to be made public on Thursday, though a judge has ordered that any recommendations on criminal charges be kept secret.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney on Monday said he would permit three portions of the special grand jury's report to be released: the introduction, the conclusion and a section laying out concerns that some witnesses may have lied under oath when testifying.
McBurney said the report includes "a roster of who should (or should not) be indicted." But the judge ruled that any recommendations would stay sealed for now out of concern that the people named have not had an adequate opportunity to defend themselves. That makes it unlikely Thursday's release will indicate whether Trump will eventually face charges.
The Georgia investigation began shortly after Trump in the waning weeks of his presidency in January 2021 called a Georgia state official asking him to "find" just enough votes to declare the Republican incumbent the winner in the state rather than Democrat Joe Biden. Trump, who has launched another run for the White House in 2024, has made false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him through widespread voting fraud.
