A Georgia grand jury returned 10 indictments today in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ sweeping investigation into whether former President Donald Trump and his allies attempted to overturn the 2020 election. The defendants and charges have not been revealed yet.
A docket appeared on the Fulton County court website shortly after noon, the news agency Reuters reported, indicating that Trump had been charged. The document was quickly removed from the site, Reuters reported, and the news agency then changed its report to say Georgia was "set to charge" the former president. The clerk's office called it a "fictitious document that has been circulated online."
Willis enlisted a special grand jury last year that heard testimony from 75 witnesses. The panel recommended indicting more than a dozen people.
Among the best-known moments in the pressure campaign against Georgia officials was a call in which Trump asked Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" the votes he needed to beat Joe Biden.
Several Trump allies also appeared to be subjects of the investigation, including former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.

And if Trump is found guilty by a Fulton County jury at trial, he not only
cannot pardon himself
as he might do with a federal conviction, but cannot even throw himself on Brian Kemp’s mercy. In Georgia, pardons are administered not by the governor but by an appointed state board that in the past has limited pardons to offenders who have already done their time.
