McBurney overturned Georgia’s ban on abortion starting around six weeks into a pregnancy, ruling Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022, that it violated the U.S. Constitution and U.S. Supreme Court precedent when it was enacted and was therefore void. McBurney’s ruling took effect immediately statewide, though the state attorney general’s office said it appealed it. The ban had been in effect since July.(AP Photo/Ben Gray, File) Ben Gray/AP

The special grand jury report that led to the indictment of former President Donald Trump and 18 others in Fulton County, Georgia was released on Friday.

The report revealed that the panel previously recommended charges against several other people including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), as well as former Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, among other names such as Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former Oklahoma state Rep. Cleta Mitchell.

Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, who presided over the special grand jury, previously said he would release the full report by Sept. 8. Trump previously attempted to bar him from sharing the report.

The unindicted names revealed Friday showcase how the already vast racketeering indictment once had an even broader scope.

The 26-member special grand jury, which is separate from the grand jury that indicted Trump and his associates last month, spent around seven months hearing from more than 75 witnesses as part of the investigation.

Some of Trump’s closest allies including Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman testified before the special grand jury before they were indicted alongside Trump last month on racketeering charges that they conspired to overturn the election in the Peach State.

When the report had a partial release in February, the foreperson of the grand jury spoke to media outlets and said it may include a few surprises. McBurney was asked about the foreperson’s brief media tour and responded that grand jurors are to “keep secret” their deliberations.
