A Georgia grand jury returned indictments after hearing 12 hours of testimony Monday in the case involving former President Trump's attempts to overturn the election. It was not immediately clear which defendant or defendants the indictments applied to.

A Georgia grand jury returned indictments after hearing about 12 hours of testimony Monday in the case involving former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. A journalist asked McBurney about the documents and he responded,"I didn't get a good look."

The indictments could take up to three hours to process, meaning that's when names and allegations could be made public. The Fulton County District Attorney's Office is expected to hold a press conference after the documents are processed Monday night.She had been on the job for just two days when Trump made a phone call that is a cornerstone to the case. On Jan. 2, 2021, Trump contacted Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

The second indictment was issued in June. Trump was charged with dozens of crimes related to improper storing and retention of classified government documents and then obstructing the investigation. The third indictment came down on Aug. 1 over Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and the events leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, when a group of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to stop the Electoral College count from being certified.

Trump, who is running for president again in 2024, has denied wrongdoing in every case, claiming he is the subject of a political"witch hunt."
