    The special grand jury that will help investigate former President Donald Trump for possible criminal meddling in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election was quickly picked and seated.

    The probe employing the grand jury in Atlanta is seen by some observers as representing the biggest threat of criminal prosecution that Trump currently faces.

    Trump, in a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call, urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” him enough votes to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory in the state.

The special grand jury that will help investigate former President Donald Trump for possible criminal meddling in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election was seated Monday after a selection process that took less than 90 minutes.

The probe employing the grand jury, seated in Atlanta, is seen by some observers as representing the biggest threat of criminal prosecution that Trump currently faces.

While still president, and waiting for Congress to confirm President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory, Trump, in a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call, urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” him enough votes to overturn Biden’s win in that state.

That phone call — and contacts other people made with the state’s attorney general and a top federal prosecutor in Georgia — are being eyed in the criminal investigation. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is overseeing the probe.

Grand jury selection began Monday morning in the Fulton County Courthouse in downtown Atlanta.
