I took my oath as Special Prosecutor with a solemn pride and responsibility. I did not violate that oath and did nothing to compromise the integrity of the Fulton County indictment alleging interference in the 2020 presidential election.

This special purpose grand jury returned an exhaustive report recommending indictments on a host of individuals, many of which were not named in the pending charging document. Following this recommendation, a Fulton County grand jury returned an indictment against all individuals named in 23-SC-188947 respectively. Several defendants moved to disqualify the District Attorney of Fulton County and myself from the prosecution of this case. The trial Court held a hearing during which I testified and was cross examined for hours by defenses lawyers. In March of this year, the motion to disqualify was denied. In its distasteful dicta, the court opined that either I resign or the District Attorney’s office resign from the prosecution of the election interference case, consequently, I voluntarily submitted my resignation immediately. Since that date, I have had minimum contact with the Office of the District Attorney of Fulton County and have had no access to documents left there."},{"_id":"E23GNVEZAVAZVCJ4XTH5XYM7MM","additional_properties":{"inline_comments":[],"comments":[],"_id":1729103713226},"type":"text","content":"On May 9, 2024 I received a letter from the Committee on the Judiciary requesting that I produce six categories of documents.
