Fani Willis' grand jury wanted to hit Lindsey Graham and other Senators with election interference charges
The full, unredacted version of the Fulton County special grand jury report issued to District Attorney Fani Willis was released on Friday morning.
The report, sections of which were published earlier this year in a heavily redacted form, reveals several new details about the investigation that led to criminal racketeering charges against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants for trying to block the certification of the election results in that state.
Among other things, the full report shows that the special grand jury recommended even more sweeping charges than have been issued so far. Among the individuals recommended for criminal charges were South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, and former Georgia Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.

Also recommended for prosecution was Trump's former far-right National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Graham reportedly reached out to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and asked him if he had the power to throw out certain legally-cast mail-in ballots. This was around the same time as Trump's call with Raffensperger, in which he demanded he "find" extra votes to help him win the state, and implied he could be criminally prosecuted if he didn't.
While no U.S. senators were ultimately charged as part of the RICO case, several Republican officials in Georgia were charged, including former GOP state chair David Shafer, who served as one of the false electors.
