The special grand jury was investigating whether then-President Donald Trump and his allies broke the law by seeking to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia.
ATLANTA — A report by a special grand jury in Georgia investigating possible interference in the 2020 election will remain secret for now while a judge considers its release.
THE FACTS: No, Trump lost Georgia in an election the state has certified for Democrat Joe Biden. Republican election officials have affirmed the election was conducted and counted fairly. Trump's former attorney general, William Barr, found no evidence of widespread election fraud. Trump's allegations of massive voting fraud have been dismissed by a succession of judges and refuted by state election officials and an arm of his own administration's Homeland Security Department.
TRUMP:"We have anywhere from 250 to 300,000 ballots were dropped mysteriously into the rolls, much of that had to do with Fulton County, which hasn't been checked." And mail-in-ballots, which take longer to count since they must be removed from envelopes and verified before they are counted, would favor Biden. States tend to count mail-in ballots at the end of the process.
TRUMP:"It doesn't pass the smell test, because we hear they're shredding thousands and thousands of ballots and now what they're saying 'Oh, we're just cleaning up the office.'" TRUMP, attacking a legal settlement that Georgia signed with the state Democratic Party over how signatures on absentee ballot applications and absentee ballots are verified:"You can't check signatures, you can't do that... You're allowed to do harvesting, I guess, in that agreement. That agreement is a disaster for this country."
