The Fulton County special grand jury, which was established last year to hear evidence related to Georgia's 2020 election, released its full report of the case on Friday after previously only releasing a portion of it publicly.
The report revealed that the grand jury had recommended charges against high-profile figures in Georgia who were not named in District Attorney Fani Willis's indictment in August.

The sweeping indictment ultimately charged 19 people, including former President Donald Trump, with felony racketeering violations over allegations they conspired to overturn the presidential election in Georgia. The grand jury's report gives some previously unknown behind-the-scenes details about the preliminary makings of the indictment.
The grand jury recommended charging 21 additional people, including current and former U.S. senators and the now-lieutenant governor of Georgia
The jurors sought charges against Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a vocal Trump supporter, and former Georgia Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, both of whom ran for reelection in Georgia and narrowly lost in highly contentious Senate runoff races in January 2021.
Another the grand jury wanted to charge, according to its report, was Burt Jones, currently the lieutenant governor of Georgia, whom Willis was blocked by a judge from investigating after she fundraised on behalf of his Democratic challenger last year. A special prosecutor is now set to weigh charges against Jones in lieu of Willis.
The report also showed recommended charges against attorney Lin Wood, who railed against alleged voter fraud in Georgia in the aftermath of 2020 and suggested voters stay home for the runoffs instead of voting because of said fraud.
Additional names included former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn, attorney and former Trump campaign adviser Boris Epshteyn, and attorney Cleta Mitchell. The report also named most of the alternate electors, but some of them had reached immunity deals prior to Willis issuing the final indictment.
The grand jury voted nearly unanimously on its belief that Trump should be indicted
All but one juror believed that Trump should be indicted, according to the vote counts in the report.
Willis charged Trump with 13 counts in total, which included, in addition to racketeering, making false statements, conspiring to commit impersonating a public officer, and conspiring to commit forgery.
The report revealed dissent among the grand jury over charging others
The report showed the grand jury was torn on charging others under investigation.
It, for instance, voted 13 in favor and 7 against indicting Graham. It voted 14 in favor and 6 against indicting Loeffler, who was eligible to vote in the U.S. Senate on certifying Electoral College votes and therefore had an official purpose behind certain words and actions related to the election.

Four jurors were opposed to indicting Perdue, who had left office days prior to the day of the Senate's certification vote.
The biggest disagreement was found, however, in considering certain charges against alternate electors. The jurors were split nearly evenly on one particular charge, and three abstained from voting on that charge at all.
