Fonnie Willis, the District Attorney in Fulton County, where Atlanta is, started her job just right around the time of the insurrection. A special grand jury was convened that heard from dozens of witnesses over a period of several months. We don't know what those recommendations were, but in February, they issued their reports. Part of it was made public and indicated that they had recommended some indictments, but we don't know who.
There’s been a ton of news coverage and commentary around Donald Trump’s indictment in New York on Thursday.
