The special grand jury issued several subpoenas to members of Donald Trump's inner circle.
Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, and Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina, were among the people who received subpoenas.
David Cooke, a former district attorney for the Macon Judicial Circuit in Georgia, said that the fact that she has a special grand jury shows that she is not giving up on the case. She wants to get justice and protect the integrity of the case.
She could make a decision about charging Trump as early as this fall.
One of Trump's most pressing legal challenges is whether he or his top advisers may have violated state laws against soliciting election fraud.
When she announced her investigation into Trump, she said it would focus on Trump's attempt to get Georgia to overturn the results of the 2020 election. According to a subpoena, she is investigating an alleged scheme to send a fake slate of electors to the Georgia State Capitol to try and overturn the election results.
According to legal experts, there is a lot of incriminating evidence against the president. There is a phone call made by Trump to the Georgia Secretary of State on January 2nd, 2021.
A law professor at Georgia State University College of Law said that the strongest kind of evidence you could produce against a criminal is the phone call.
Trump's attempts to overturn the election results in Georgia was part of an effort he repeated in other states.
The committee put Trump's efforts in Georgia and other states back in the national spotlight after the speaker of the Arizona House testified. Two Republican officials testified that Trump and his associates tried to get them to investigate election fraud allegations that turned out to be false, or to remove the electors that Biden secured by winning the state vote.
The public was able to hear directly from the people who were pressured.
The horror of what the former president did was brought home by it.
More attention has been given to the investigation of Trump by the evidence presented during the January committee hearings.
There are people that want justice. There are people that are frustrated at the Teflon nature of this former president and that he does things right out in the open and has never been in trouble for it.
She stepped into the national spotlight after announcing her investigation into Trump. As she walks around her neighborhood, she is surrounded by security as she comes and goes at her Atlanta office.
Death threats against her have only increased after she announced that there would be a special grand jury for the Trump investigation and after taking on the prosecution case for the well-known rapper Young Thug.
"It's definitely a significant driver of the heightened security," he said in an interview. People are upset with that investigation. The people are angry about investigations into gangs.
Insider was told by legal experts that it's crucial for her to get this investigation right in order to make a sound decision on whether or not to charge the former president.
There is an investigation of this size. The president of the United States is a potential target of your investigation. "When you're looking at criminal liability, I don't think it gets any higher than that," said Clint Rucker, a former Fulton County assistant district attorney.
Since launching her investigation into Trump in February of 2021, she has assembled a team that includes an expert in racketeering law, former police officers, and veteran prosecutors. She asked for a special grand jury at the beginning of her investigation because she was frustrated by the lack of cooperation from witnesses.
The grand jury has the power to subpoena witnesses. Recommendations about criminal prosecution will be made by it. The special grand jury has heard testimony from several people.
Those that have known her for a long time say she will not fold under the pressure.
The pressure Fani puts on herself to do a good job and get justice for people will not be put on her by the evidence.
