Georgia judge to release special grand jury's report on Trump and alleged efforts to overturn 2020 election

A judge is set Friday to make public a report, for months shrouded in secrecy, on alleged efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results.

Most of the report, by a special purpose grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, was ordered to be withheld from the public as the district attorney there considered charges against Trump and others in his orbit.

"Much has changed since that February order was entered," wrote Judge Robert McBurney in a Aug. 28 order indicating the report would be released Friday unless objections were raised by concerned parties. "As anyone with an internet connection now knows, the district attorney has indicted 19 individuals for their alleged participation in a 'racketeering enterprise' purportedly designed to interfere with the lawful administration of the 2020 general election in Georgia."
