Cleta Mitchell, a longtime conservative attorney who sat in on Trump’s infamous January 2021 call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, was included in the special grand jury’s charging recommendations but was not indicted last month.

The special grand jury also suggested charges over Mitchell’s role in a December 2020 meeting of Republican electors at the Georgia Capitol, as well as “with respect to the national effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.”
