A judge in Fulton County, Georgia, on Thursday will release parts of a special grand jury report on whether then-President Donald Trump and his allies tried to unlawfully interfere in the 2020 election results in the key battleground state.
The newly unsealed portions of the report will likely not include the grand jury's recommendations on specific potential indictments, Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney said this week in ordering the sections to be released, citing due process concerns.
McBurney ruled Monday that three parts of the grand jury’s final report should be made public: the introduction, the conclusion and a section in which jurors expressed concern that some witnesses may have lied under oath. Those witnesses are not identified in the section, he said.
The judge said “the compelling public interest in these proceedings and the unquestionable value and importance of transparency require their release.”
Donald Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows has been subpoenaed by the special counsel investigating the former president and his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.
Special counsel Jack Smith’s office is seeking documents and testimony related to January 6, and Meadows received the subpoena sometime in January, the source said. An attorney for Meadows declined to comment.
