Decisions on charges in Trump probe 'imminent' -GA prosecutor

STORY: Willis urged county Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney to keep the report sealed for now, warning that future defendants could argue that releasing the document publicly hurt their right to have a fair trial, among other rights.

"We are asking that the report not be released, because - you having seen that report - decisions are imminent," Willis said.

It is not clear whether the special grand jury's findings will lead to criminal charges against Trump or anyone else for election interference. Willis, an elected Democrat, will ultimately decide whether to make Trump the first former U.S. president to face criminal prosecution.

Members of the special grand jury voted to recommend the public release of their findings. Lawyers for a coalition of media organizations, including news networks and major newspapers, argued that the report should be published in part due to the overwhelming public interest in the case.

The panel was convened last year at Willis' request to aid in her investigation of the Trump campaign's actions following the 2020 election.

At the end of Tuesday's hearing the judge said, "there will be no rash decisions."
