House committee will hold its final scheduled hearingSign up to receive First Thing – our daily briefing by email
In Georgia, a special grand jury investigation is proceeding into Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state – a subject that the January 6 committee has also looked into.
The Associated Press reports today that several Georgia Republican lawmakers who signed a fake document claiming that Trump, rather than Joe Biden, won the state have lost their bid to quash subpoenas compelling their appearance before the special panel. The body based in Fulton county, home to Atlanta, will issue a report that the local prosecutor could then use to seek indictments based on its information. Today’s rulings indicates the special grand jury will continue to remain one potential avenue for allies of the former president, or perhaps Trump himself, to face criminal charges over his meddling in the 2020 election.
