Georgia DA summons former lawmaker and journalist in Trump election inquiry

Fani Willis's office will have former lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan and journalist George Chidi testify before a grand jury

The office of the Fulton county district attorney, Fani Willis, has issued summonses to former Georgia lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan and journalist George Chidi to testify before a grand jury on Tuesday regarding Donald Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in that state.

The announcement of the summonses confirmed previous reporting by the Guardian that Willis's office in Atlanta on Tuesday would present evidence to a grand jury weighing charges against the former president. Prosecutors could ask the grand jury to hand up charges on Tuesday as well, having completed an internal review of evidence in the case weeks ago.
