Two key findings from Georgia grand jury

 Newsweek - A special grand jury in Georgia released portions of its findings from a monthslong investigation into alleged efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the result of the 2020 election ...The 24-member special grand jury unanimously voted that, after interviewing 75 witnesses and after reviewing reams of documents, the group could find no evidence existed to support Trump's claims of widespread irregularities in the race that could have impacted the result. It also reported that a majority of its members believed that "one or more" witnesses who testified on Trump's behalf may have potentially committed perjury during the course of their investigation—a charge that carries a maximum 10-year prison term but could be used to leverage testimony for more serious charges—and recommended the district attorney's office seek to indict those people "where the evidence is compelling."
