ATLANTA — The scope of the Fulton County grand jury investigation into Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election came into clearer focus as court filings Tuesday indicate that at least a dozen phony Georgia Republican electors have been informed they could face criminal charges.
The filing was the latest signal that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ investigation is circling the group of 16 GOP electors who gathered at the state Capitol in December 2020 as part of a sham ceremony to further Trump’s push to reverse his defeat to Joe Biden.
The records for the first time showed that 10 additional GOP electors have received letters from Fulton County prosecutors notifying them they’re targets of their criminal investigation of the 2020 elections and could be prosecuted.
