A special grand jury in Georgia recommended criminally charging Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and former Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, according to a final report released Friday.
None of the three ended up facing criminal charges in the Georgia criminal case that accuses former President Donald Trump and 18 others of operating as a “criminal organization” as they sought to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in one of the nation’s top battleground states.
The special grand jury’s final report said the panel recommended that the three Republicans be indicted in relation to the “national effort to overturn the 2020 election.” Seven of the 21 jurors opposed an indictment of Graham, R-S.C., six opposed it of Loeffler, and four opposed the recommendation against Perdue. Both Loeffler and Perdue lost their Senate seats in Georgia elections in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
