NextImg:How Georgia grand jury foreperson's media tour hinting at Trump indictment could backfire

The foreperson of a special grand jury convened in Fulton County, Georgia, to examine possible election interference by former President Donald Trump and his allies went on a string of media tours this week, raising speculation as to whether she may have done damage ahead of any potential charges arising from the probe.

In interviews with CNN, the Associated Press, the New York Times, and more, 30-year-old grand jury foreperson Emily Kohrs offered some eye-raising details about key witnesses and charging recommendations potentially surrounding nearly a dozen people.

GEORGIA GRAND JURY FOREWOMAN SAYS PUBLIC 'WON'T BE TOO SURPRISED' AT LIST OF INDICTMENT REFERRALS

When asked whether the list included the former president's name, Kohrs told NBC News, "It might." Kohrs walked even further to the line when asked if Trump could face an indictment, saying: "You’re not going to be shocked. It’s not rocket science."

Although the special grand jury, which finished an eight-month inquiry in December, lacks the authority to issue indictments, Kohrs' public remarks across multiple interviews revealed elements of the probe that would otherwise be shielded from public knowledge, as the judge presiding over the probe specifically redacted many portions of a limited report that released last week.

Bradley Moss, a D.C.-based lawyer specializing in national security law and security clearances, told the Washington Examiner he believed Kohrs remarks were "unprofessional and immature" but did not think they would thwart any of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's (D) potential indictment considerations.

“The actions of Ms. Kohr were, in my view, unprofessional and immature but ultimately did not cross any legal or ethical lines," Moss said, adding, "While potentially bad for purposes of political optics, I do not expect her remarks will ultimately undermine any indictments DA Willis pursues (if any)."

Kohrs's media tour prompted several news outlets to run op-eds on Thursday suggesting Kohrs's interviews "undermine justice in the 2020 election inquiry," according to the Wall Street Journal's Editorial Board.

"I can only imagine the skyrocketing blood pressure of District Attorney Fani Willis, who, unlike the special grand jury, actually has the power to bring indictments and who has said her decision is 'imminent,'" MSNBC Columnist Barbara McQuade wrote.

Dan Abrams, chief legal analyst for ABC News, said Kohrs "shouldn't be doing this" and added that her media tour "isn't helpful to the perception of the objectivity of the criminal justice system, and it starts to feel like she's putting pressure on the district attorney to actually move forward with charges."

Willis initially asked for the special grand jury's report to remain shielded from the public until she had made a decision on whether to bring charges to anyone brought forth for the investigation in order to protect potential "defendants."

Trump's legal team has been monitoring Kohrs' remarks in the press and has started to consider options if charges against him are brought.

The former president blasted Khors in posts to his Truth Social platform early Wednesday, saying her comments marked a "continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt of all time."

Meanwhile, conservatives have been using Khors's comments as a billboard to advance their belief that the jury Willis called for in May 2022 was biased against Trump. Conservative political advocate Charlie Kirk went as far as to claim Khors was a literal "witch" attempting to put a "spell" on Trump.

“She posts on her social media page about herbs, about casting a circle — demonic circles, how to cast spells. Not a joke. This is all on her social media page. She actually is a witch. She’s into witchcraft,” Kirk said.

Several pins from a Pinterest board purportedly run by Kohrs promoted infographics about “Wicca, Witchcraft & Paganism,” in addition to several pins referencing spell casting, according to screenshots taken by the New York Post. Some of the recommendations on the graphics included a "where to start" guide into witchcraft, with website suggestions such as "thewitchymommy.com" and "sacred-texts.com."

The partial release of the report, approved by Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, revealed that the 26 members of the public who heard testimony from over 75 witnesses found no evidence of election fraud in the Georgia 2020 general election and that one or more witnesses may have committed perjury, lying under oath.

Willis's investigation was partly prompted by Trump's Jan. 2, 2021, phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which Trump asked him to "find 11,780 votes," the precise number Trump needed to overcome his defeat by then-candidate Joe Biden.
