The Georgia grand jury found no widespread fraud in Georgia's 2020 presidential election, in which President Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump.
The grand jury was impaneled in May to investigate whether Trump his lawyers andcommitted any crimes in pressuring state officials to overturn the election in his favor, but Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney withheld those conclusions until prosecutors are ready to release the full report at a later time.
In the few pages that were unsealed Thursday, the grand jury said it received evidence involving more than 75 witnesses, most of which was delivered in person and under oath. The grand jury voted unanimously in concluding that "no widespread fraud took place in the Georgia 2020 presidential election that could result in overturning that election," according to the report.The Fulton County court in Atlanta, Georgia, US, on Monday, Feb. 13, 2023.McBurney on Monday approved the disclosure of three portions of the final report because they do not identify any witnesses.
Trump after Election Day falsely claimed that he had won the popular election both nationally and in the swing states, arguing that he was denied victory in the Electoral College because of widespread popular ballot fraud. Trump said the election had been "rigged" against him, citing a plethora of unfounded conspiracy theories.
