A special grand jury recommended last year that Atlanta’s district attorney charge three current and former US senators for allegedly aiding former President Donald Trump’s attempts to reverse his 2020 election loss.
The panel urged Fulton County DA Fani Willis to indict Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and former Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and David Perdue R-Ga.), according to its 28-page report, released Friday.
Willis, an elected Democrat, did not immediately comment on her decision not to charge the trio when she indicted Trump and 18 alleged co-conspirators on Aug. 14 on charges including racketeering, historically used against organized crime.

Graham testified to the grand jury in November of last year about his actions following the 2020 election — after unsuccessfully suing to block a subpoena by citing the Constitution’s Speech or Debate clause.
Grand jurors voted 13-7 in favor of indicting the four-term senator, according to the grand jury report.
Graham apparently was in the panel’s crosshairs because of his post-election outreach to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
