A grand jury spent seven months looking into allegations that Donald Trump and his allies tried to sway the presidential election results in Georgia, a southern state that voted for Joe Biden.

Emily Kors told MSNBC, “It’s not a short list,” to mention the number of people targeted by the grand jury recommendations and the complaints about them. But the juror didn’t give a name.

Kors also said more than 12 people were targeted.

There are “definitely some names you’ll recognize” on that list, she added, before adding: “There are also names you might not recognize.”

Emily Kors did not say whether Donald Trump, who recently announced his candidacy for the White House in 2024, is on the list.

Instead, the juror told the New York Times that people would not be “shocked” by the jury’s findings. “It’s not magic,” she said.

The investigative commission of 23 jurors heard the testimony of 75 witnesses, including one of Donald Trump’s former chiefs of staff in the White House, Mark Meadows, or the Republican senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, and the former mayor of New York. and former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy. Giuliani.

Last week, a Georgia judge approved the release of three redacted sections of a grand jury report that found no evidence of widespread election fraud, undermining Donald Trump’s claims that the election was rigged.

District Attorney Fanny Willis will make the final decision on whether to charge those affected by the grand jury’s recommendations.

The investigation was launched after a phone call by Donald Trump on January 2, 2021, in which he urged some election officials to “find” him the 11,780 votes needed to defeat Joe Biden in the state.

It is one of several investigations looking into possible wrongdoing by the former Republican president and his associates, who are accused of conspiring to stay in power despite losing the 2020 presidential election.
