The Georgia district attorney investigating whether former President Donald Trump and others attempted to interfere with the 2020 election in the state has asked for a special grand jury for the probe.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis says several witnesses have refused to voluntarily cooperate with the investigation. At the center of the investigation is a phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to “find 11,780 votes” that would allow Trump to win the state.
