Capitol.Push-to-talk apps are major improvements on early forms of walkie talkies.
In addition, a Justice Department special counsel is investigating his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in multiple states, as well as the events leading up to the Jan. And he faces 37 felony charges in federal court in Florida accusing him of hoarding classified documents and refusing government demands to give them back. He faces 34 felony charges in New York state court accusing him of falsifying business records in a hush money scheme over allegations of extramarital sexual encounters. He has already been indicted twice this year in other cases. Neither an indictment nor a conviction would prevent Trump from running for or winning the presidency in 2024. IF TRUMP IS INDICTED, CAN HE STILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT? But if two grand juries vote not to indict on the same charges, prosecutors generally cannot try again to get an indictment on those charges. If the grand jury votes against indicting anyone, prosecutors can present the case again to a different grand jury. Soon after that, those charged will be booked and have their first court appearances. Then it is filed in the clerk’s office and is a public document. If a grand jury votes to bring charges, the indictment must be presented in open court by the grand jury or the sworn grand jury bailiff in a courtroom where a judge and the clerk are present. The grand juror oath in Georgia requires jurors to “keep the deliberations of the Grand Jury secret unless called upon to give evidence thereof in some court of law of this State.” Willis isn’t bound by the special grand jury’s recommendations. The panel’s foreperson said in media interviews later that month that they recommended indicting numerous people, but she declined to name names. While part of that report was made public in February, the judge overseeing the special grand jury said any recommendations on specific charges for specific people would remain secret for the time being. Instead, it issued subpoenas and considered testimony from about 75 witnesses, as well as other evidence, before drafting a final report with recommendations for Willis. It was essentially an investigative tool and didn’t have the power to indict. That special grand jury was seated in May 2022 and was released in January after completing its work. She said at the time that she needed the panel’s subpoena power to compel testimony from witnesses who otherwise might not be willing to talk to her team. About a year into her investigation, Willis took the unusual step of asking for a special grand jury. WASN’T THERE ALREADY A GRAND JURY IN THIS CASE? She has previously suggested that any indictments would likely come in August. Willis, a Democrat, is expected to present her case before one of two new grand juries being seated Tuesday. The 2 1/2-year investigation expanded to include an examination of a slate of Republican fake electors, phone calls by Trump and others to Georgia officials in the weeks after the 2020 election and unfounded allegations of widespread election fraud made to state lawmakers. ATLANTA (AP) - A grand jury that was sworn in Tuesday in Atlanta will likely consider whether criminal charges are appropriate for former President Donald Trump or his Republican allies for their efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia.įulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been investigating since shortly after Trump called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in early 2021 and suggested the state’s top elections official could help him “find 11,780 votes,” just enough needed to beat Democrat Joe Biden.
