Tuesday afternoon saw the official swearing-in of the grand jury in Georgia, which will decide whether or not to charge former President Donald Trump and his allies with crimes related to their attempts to rig the 2020 election.
As reported by ABC News, the selection process for the new grand jury took place in Atlanta, overseen by Judge Robert McBurney. Candidates underwent a rigorous three-hour screening. In correspondence disclosed by CBS News, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis reportedly notified local law enforcement officials, indicating a potential time frame for indictments in the case. It was mentioned that indictments may possibly occur between July 31 and August 18.
In order to declare Donald Trump the winner of the state of Georgia in the 2020 presidential election, more than half of the so-called Georgia Republican "fake electors" met and agreed to immunity deals with Fulton County prosecutors.
Eight of the 16 alternate electors, who were being defended by attorney Kimberly Debrow, were given "actual immunity offers" by Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D), according to a new court filing on Friday. This offered them the assurance that they "will not be charged with crimes if they testify truthfully," according to The Washington Post.

According to the New York Times, one more elector who was being represented by a different lawyer already had an immunity agreement in place.
After being charged earlier this year by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over alleged hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels, if Trump is indicted in the case, it will be the third criminal case in which he faces charges. The New York case has drawn heavy criticism for being politically motivated and weak, including from the political Left.
The most serious criminal case against Trump involves his retention of sensitive national defense documents that were uncovered during an FBI raid in August of last year. The retention of these documents occurred as a result of the former president's repeated refusal to turn over all the documents that the government had requested from him. He did not receive a charge for any of the documents that he did return, so he most likely would not have received one if he had simply returned all of the requested documents.
A separate investigation into the former president's efforts to rig the 2020 election has led to potential federal criminal charges against him. Trump has defended his innocence in each of the four cases.
