Former lieutenant governor of Georgia Geoff Duncan has been subpoenaed to testify before a Fulton County grand jury this month.
Duncan confirmed a CNN report on X, the platform previously known as Twitter, that he was subpoenaed to testify in the grand jury probe into whether the former president and his supporters violated state law with their alleged attempts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results.ย
Duncan served as the lieutenant governor of Georgia from 2019 to 2023 and was president of the Georgia State Senate during the 2020 election.ย
โI can confirm this is true,โ Duncan posted. โI will continue to share the facts as I know them around this investigation in hopes of figuring out what really happened.โ
Last week, Fulton County DA Fani Willis (D) indicated that her investigation has concluded and charging decisions will be made by September 1. (RELATED:ย Georgia District Attorney Concludes Trump Investigation, Hints When To Expect New Charges)
Law enforcement has reportedly already begun increasing security in areas surrounding the courthouse and for officials close to the case.
The yearslong investigation has focused heavily on a phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger when the former president asked him to โfindโ 11,780 votes to overturnย President Biden'sย victory in the election.
Some experts say Willis may settle on Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) chargesย inย bringing a case against Trump, according to The Hill.
โCharging a RICO offense kind of captures that this is a multifaceted, larger plan. I think that's part of why that kind of statute exists, and it's part of why prosecutors may charge it. It allows you to review lots of different conduct, but it also allows you to present a case and present evidence that this is a bigger scheme and not a couple of disparate events that could be dismissed as kind of small, individual actions.โย
RICO charges would allow prosecutors to sweep in criminal statutes in Georgia that aren't directly tied to elections โย such as making false statements and official certificates, as well as charges for computer trespass โย which could be used to address broader Trump campaign efforts to access voter machine data in Coffee County, Ga.ย
RICO also allows Willis to sweep in conduct outside of her Fulton County jurisdiction in the broader indictment, such as the Coffee County computer probe and phone calls made by Trump and those in his orbit to election officials residing in other Georgia counties.ย ย
