Twenty-three jurors have been selected for the Georgia grand jury that will investigate whether former President Donald Trump and his allies broke the law by attempting to interfere with the state's election results, The New York Times reported Monday.
Judge Robert C.I. McBurney of the Fulton County Superior Court told 200 potential jurors that the grand jury will focus solely on "whether there were unlawful attempts to disrupt the administration of the 2020 elections here in Georgia."
