The Department of Justice used a grand jury subpoena to obtain CCTV security footage from the Atlanta, Georgia, arena where ballots were counted following the 2020 election, indicating that federal prosecutors are examining some of the same matters as the Fulton County, Georgia district attorney who may soon bring charges against former president Donald Trump and others in his orbit.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, prosecutors investigating Mr Trump’s efforts to remain in office against the will of voters despite losing the 2020 election issued a 31 May grand jury subpoena to the Georgia Secretary of State’s office seeking “any and all security video or security footage, or any other video of any kind, depicting or taken at or near, State Farm Arena, the Atlanta indoor sports venue that served as a polling place and ballot counting centre during the 2020 presidential election.
