ATLANTA — Jury selection is slated to begin early Monday in downtown Atlanta for a special investigative panel that will delve into the actions of former President Donald Trump and his allies as they sought to reverse Georgia's 2020 election results.
Prosecutors from the Fulton County District Attorney's office are set to choose 23 residents, along with three alternates, to serve on a so-called special purpose grand jury.
The group will provide some much-needed investigative firepower to prosecutors, who have reached out to some 30 witnesses who have declined to testify voluntarily over the course of their 15-month-long criminal probe. That includes star witness Brad Raffensperger, the Republican secretary of state whom Trump called in January 2021 and pressured to reverse Joe Biden's win in Georgia.
