Steve HermanMedia reports say a grand jury in Fulton County, #Georgia has begun voting on possible criminal charges against former President Trump related to #Election2020.
The grand jury “has handed up a sealed indictment after hearing evidence of efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election.” — NY Times
Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney has returned to his courtroom, shortly before 9 p.m.
“The convoy is mobile,” McBurney told reporters.
Fulton Sheriff Pat Labat also entered the courtroom. — Atlanta Journal Constitution https://www.ajc.com/news/judge-mcburney-returns-to-his-courtroom/VFW4V53WJBFEFBWUT4LUKUGFBY/
This shows the grand jury did not vote against any of the indictments presented by the Fulton County district attorney's team.
Pre-emptive reaction from the Trump campaign to the #Georgia grand jury charges: "Ripping a page from Crooked Joe Biden’s playbook, Willis has strategically stalled her investigation to try and maximally interfere with the 2024 presidential race and damage the dominant Trump campaign. All of these corrupt Democrat attempts will fail."
Trump, Giuliani, Eastman and Meadows among defendants named in the #Georgia indictments.
Trump and 18 others indicted in Fulton County, #Georgia in racketeering case related to the former president's #Election2020 loss.
"After losing the free and fair 2020 election, the failed former president attempted to disenfranchise Georgia voters because he didn’t like the result.," says #GA05 Rep. Nikema Williams. "That was an assault on our democracy. But in Fulton County we apply the law equally to everyone–even failed former presidents."

"The indictment includes 41 felony counts," Fulton County D.A. Fanni Willis tells reporters.
"Every individual charged in the indictment is charged with violating Georgia's" #RICO Act, adds the Fulton County district attorney.
Some of the alleged crimes in the indictment occurred outside #Georgia but are part of the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, explains Willis.
Trump and other criminal racketerering defendants are to surrender by noon Aug. 25, says Fulton County District Attorney Fanni Willis.
"We do want to move this case along" and desire a trial date in the next six months, says Willis.
"Do I intend to try the 19 defendants in this indictment together? Yes," says Willis responding to reporters.
