Georgia prosecutor requests special grand jury in Trump probe

The Georgia prosecutor investigating possible interference in the 2020 presidential election by former President Donald Trump has asked a judge to appoint a special grand jury for her investigation.
In a letter sent Thursday, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis asked the county's chief judge to impanel the special grand jury because of "information indicating a reasonable probability" that the election "was subject to possible criminal disruptions."
Willis has said in interviews that the investigation includes a January 2, 2021 phone call in which Trump told Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, "I just want to find 11,780 votes." Trump lost the state to Joe Biden by that margin, and the outcome was affirmed by several recounts.
