A local District Attorney probing former President Donald trump's pressure campaign on Georgia officials to overturn the state's 2020 election results is requesting a special grand jury to aid in the investigation, reports said.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, whose jurisdiction includes the capital city of Atlanta, said the decision was necessary due to the "significant number of witnesses and prospective witnesses have refused to cooperate with the investigation absent a subpoena requiring their testimony," according to a letter to the county's chief judge cited by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
