“Trump probe: Fulton grand jury prepares to hear testimony”

AJC:

The Fulton County District Attorney’s wide-ranging criminal investigation into efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election is heating up, weeks after the seating of a special purpose grand jury with subpoena power.

Jurors are soon slated to hear testimony from Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who was recently subpoenaed, the Republican’s office confirmed late Thursday. They are also expected to interview Gabe Sterling, one of Raffensperger’s top aides, and at least one state senator behind closed doors in the weeks ahead.

“You comply with subpoenas,” Sterling told Channel 2 Action News, which first reported news of his subpoena. “You go in there, you tell the truth, follow the law and that’s what this office always does and will continue to do.”

Raffensperger will be one of the first witnesses from which the 23-person special grand jury hears testimony since jurors were selected on May 2. Fulton DA Fani Willis has refrained from calling witnesses to testify during the month of May to avoid appearing politically motivated ahead of this week’s primaries.
