NEW: Lawyers Prepping to Reverse Potential Trump Indictment After Insane Media Tour by Head Juror

Lawyers representing Republican witnesses in the investigation of former President Donald Trump and his colleagues in Fulton County may try to stop possible indictments.

The move would be based on recent public statements by the forewoman of a special purpose grand jury.

District attorney Fani Willis is currently deciding whether to pursue charges and convene a criminal grand jury based on the special grand jury’s findings.

Emily Kohrs, the forewoman of the grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump and his allies in Fulton County, Georgia, was seen laughing during media appearances. Critics of the grand jury’s investigation saw Kohrs’ demeanor as evidence of bias against Trump and his allies.

However, supporters of the investigation noted that Kohrs was not authorized to speak about the grand jury’s findings and that her demeanor was irrelevant to the investigation’s outcome. The grand jury’s report remains sealed, and it is not yet clear whether any charges will be pursued.

Many people have criticized Emily Kohrs, the forewoman of the grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump for speaking to the media about the investigation. Her interviews could be used by Trump’s defense team that might indicate a bias against the former president.

Some have suggested that it would have been wiser for Kohrs to wait until after any potential indictments before speaking out. It is important to remember that Kohrs was not authorized to discuss the grand jury’s findings and that her demeanor during media appearances could be used to draw conclusions about the investigation’s validity. The decision to pursue charges based on the grand jury’s findings remains in the hands of the district attorney, and it is unclear whether any charges will be filed.

A special grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, was impaneled in March 2021 to investigate allegations of interference in the 2020 election by former President Donald Trump. The grand jury was tasked with determining whether any individuals or organizations committed crimes related to the election, including attempts to influence the results or obstruct the vote count.

Earlier in February, the grand jury in Fulton County released a portion of their report of their investigation of Trump. The report includes allegations of improper election interference, including pressuring Georgia officials to overturn the election results.

On February 16, the report read, “We find by a unanimous vote that no widespread fraud took place in the Georgia 2020 presidential election that could result in overturning that election.”

On Wednesday, it was reported that lawyers representing Republican witnesses in the investigation of former President Donald Trump and others related to the investigation in Fulton County may try to stop possible indictments.

This move would be based on recent public statements by the forewoman of a special purpose grand jury. Willis is currently deciding whether to pursue charges and convene a criminal grand jury based on the special grand jury’s findings.

Their attempt to do so would be based on recent public statements by the forewoman of a special purpose grand jury, Emily Kohrs, according to two people familiar with the discussions who spoke with CBS News.

The special purpose grand jury served as an investigatory body that could recommend charges but could not indict. Willis is now deciding whether to pursue charges and open a “regular” criminal grand jury, to seek possible indictments against Trump or others based on the special grand jury’s recommendations, compiled in a report it made following the completion of its work.

She has not yet decided whether to pursue charges and has only said a decision on how to proceed is “imminent.”

If she were to pursue charges, lawyers for several witnesses are preparing to move to quash indictments, based on the forewoman’s comments, which they would argue taint any such charges and the investigation.
