A new Georgia grand jury report shows one current and two former US senators were nearly indicted over their involvement to turn the 2020 election in Donald Trump’s favour.
However, they were not on the final list of 18 co-conspirators indicted alongside Trump last month.
Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue – Georgia’s
senators at the time – and Senator Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina, were
recommended for charges, according to the report.
The special grand jury also named Trump’s former national
security adviser Michael Flynn, adviser Boris Epshteyn and
lawyers Lin Wood and Cleta Mitchell.
The report lays bare the secret panel’s thinking as they looked at whether Trump and his allies broke the law during the 2020 election.
