The foreperson for the Georgia grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election confirmed that the jury recommended indictments.
Driving the news: “There are certainly names that you would recognize, yes,” Emily Kohrs said in an interview that aired Tuesday with NBC News’ “Nightly News.”

- She also indicated that there are more than a dozen people included.
- “I don’t think that there are any giant plot twists coming,” Kohrs added. “I don’t think there’s any giant ‘That’s not the way I expected this to go at all’ moments.'”
