A special grand jury that investigated efforts to overturn the 2020 election result in Georgia recommended indicting 39 people, according to a final report unsealed today.

A grand jury last month ultimately charged 19 in a sweeping racketeering case, including former President Donald Trump, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

Last year, a judge empaneled the special grand jury of 26 Fulton County residents to assist with the Fulton County district attorney’s office investigation and heard from 75 witnesses over eight months.
