Chesebro, Powell allowed to interview Trump grand jurors in Georgia case

Lawyers Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, who were indicted with former President Donald Trump for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results, have been granted permission by a Georgia judge to interview members of the grand jury that indicted them.
Judge Scott McAfee ruled that defense counsel is entitled to conduct a thorough investigation and that interviewing the grand jurors is not illegal, as long as it does not involve harassment or disclosure of deliberations. However, McAfee denied their request for access to recordings, transcripts, and reports produced by the special grand jury.
The Fulton County District Attorney's Office opposed the request, claiming it to be an illegal investigation, and expressed concern for the safety of the jurors. McAfee ordered the attorneys to submit a list of questions for approval and provide contact information for the grand jurors.
