The grand jury that will assess whether former US President Donald Trump (2017-2021) He is accused of trying to overturn Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the state of Georgia 2020 was chosen this Tuesday. Chain CNN He noted that the group was named after a three-hour selection process in Atlanta, the state capital.
There are a total of 52 people divided into two groups, each with 23 jurors and 3 alternates, who will meet separately twice a week for 2 months. Only one of the two groups will be in charge of approving possible imputation and his decision could be known as early as next August. For the accusation to be valid, 16 of the 23 members must be present, and at least 12 of them vote in favor.
The case is investigating whether Trump and others committed crimes by lobbying politicians in the state regarding the results of the 2020 presidential election. Part of the investigation focused on Trump’s January 2021 call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, asking him to “find” thousands of votes in his favor in that state, where Biden won.
Trump was already charged last June in a court in Miami (Florida) with illegal withholding of government secrets, obstruction of justice and conspiracy, among other crimes. It was about the first time in the country’s history that a former president has been indicted on federal charges and that accusation came in the middle of the pre-campaign for the 2024 presidential election.
The former president was also charged in March in a Manhattan (New York) court with making illegal payments to silence porn actress Stormy Daniels during her 2016 election campaign. This was the first criminal charge brought against a former US president at the state level. .
On the other hand, on May 9, after a civil trial, a jury sentenced Trump to pay damages of 5 million dollars writer Jean Carroll for sexually abusing her years ago and later defaming her when she publicly denounced the facts.
