Former Georgia Lt. Gov Geoff Duncan, a Republican, said Saturday on CNN that he has been told to appear Tuesday before a Fulton County grand jury to testify about the efforts by Trump and his allies.
Independent journalist George Chidi posted on social media later Saturday that he’d been told to appear before the grand jury on Tuesday too.
The witnesses Willis has subpoenaed to testify when she presents her case include Duncan, Chidi and former Georgia state Sen. Jen Jordan, a Democrat.
Georgia law is unusual in that special purpose grand juries – which have broad investigative powers – are not permitted to issue indictments.
When the subpoenaed witnesses appear before the regular grand jury, those grand jurors will hear the witnesses’ testimony for the first time with a narrower purpose at hand: to approve or reject indictments.
