A Fulton County grand jury investigating allegations of efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia has requested the appearance of former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan and journalist George Chidi. Duncan, a Republican, confirmed in an interview on CNN and through a tweet that he will be testifying before the grand jury on Tuesday. The investigation stems from Trump’s alleged attempts to pressure Duncan and other Georgia officials to convene a special legislative session to overturn the state’s results, which both Duncan and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp declined. The probe has since expanded to include an alleged scheme to substitute President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral college votes from the state with “fake” electors. In addition to Duncan, Chidi tweeted about being asked to appear before the grand jury. District Attorney Fani Willis’ office did not provide a comment. Willis has indicated that potential indictments in the case could come between July 31 and August 18. Trump, who has denied wrongdoing, has criticized Willis for investigating him for political gain. His attorney, Jennifer Little, stated in an interview that Trump intends to vigorously fight any potential indictment. Earlier this month, Trump was indicted by federal special counsel Jack Smith in a separate investigation into his alleged efforts to interfere with the 2020 election results. He pleaded not guilty to the charges. The development was reported by CBS News. Contact information for investigative reporter Graham Kates is provided at the end of the article.
