"One or more" witnesses may have lied under oath and committed perjury, according to a grand jury that investigated former President Donald Trump's actions in Georgia after he lost the 2020 election.

Parts of a report released Thursday morning featured an introduction and conclusion, along with a section in which the grand jurors expressed their concerns and recommended appropriate charges.

"A majority of the Grand Jury believes that perjury may have been committed by one or more witnesses testifying before it. The Grand Jury recommends that the District Attorney seek appropriate indictments for such crimes where the evidence is compelling," according to the nine-page report.

The portions of the report released on Thursday provide a narrow look into the findings from 26 members of the public who heard testimony from over 75 witnesses. However, any recommendations of potential criminal charges for specific witnesses will remain undisclosed for now, according to an eight-page order released by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney on Monday.
