Donald Trump Responds To President Biden’s State Of The Union Address

The grand jury investigating Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia will release some of its findings on Thursday – which could shed light on whether or not the former president will face criminal charges for his actions.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney has ordered the release of the report’s introduction, conclusion and concerns the jury had about witnesses lying under oath.

The report is the result of a two-year investigation into the actions of Mr Trump and his campaign back in 2020 when the one-term president lost the state to President Joe Biden.

Infamously, Mr Trump called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in January 2021 asking him to “find” enough votes to swing the election in his favour.

The release of the probe findings comes as it emerged that Mr Trump’s former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has been subpoenaed by the special counsel investigating the former president’s role in the January 6 Capitol riot.

A source told CNN that Mr Meadows received the subpoena last month, the latest sign that special counsel Jack Smith is ramping up his investigation into the former president.
