Special Grand Jury in Georgia Trump Inquiry Concludes Its Investigation

ATLANTA — A special grand jury investigating former President Donald J. Trump and his allies for possible election interference in Georgia after the 2020 contest has concluded its work, according to Judge Robert McBurney of the Superior Court of Fulton County, who oversaw the grand jury. But it is not yet clear if criminal charges will be brought.

A report written by the jury was reviewed by the 20 judges on the court in Fulton County, which encompasses most of Atlanta. The report has not been publicly released, so it is not clear what the grand jury recommended. Its work began last May.

“The court thanks the grand jurors for their dedication, professionalism and significant commitment of time and attention to this important matter,” Judge McBurney wrote in his order.

A hearing will be held on Jan. 24 to determine whether the report will be made public, as the grand jury is recommending, according to the judge’s order. Any criminal charges would have to be sought from one of the regular grand juries that consider criminal matters in the county.

The office of Fani T. Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, has informed nearly 20 people that they may face criminal charges as a result of the investigation. They include Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s former lawyer, and David Shafer, the chairman of the Georgia Republican Party. It is not yet clear if Mr. Trump himself is a target of the investigation.

Ms. Willis is weighing potential conspiracy and racketeering charges, among a number of others, as part of the sprawling investigation into efforts by Mr. Trump and his allies to overturn President Biden’s victory in Georgia in 2020. Among the episodes she has examined is the phone call that Mr. Trump made on Jan. 2, 2021, to Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, imploring him to “find” nearly 12,000 votes, or enough to reverse the outcome of the presidential election in Georgia.

An alternate slate of fake presidential electors that emerged in Georgia after the 2020 election has also been a subject of intense scrutiny. Each of those electors has been told they are a target who could face charges.
