Summary

As a judge considers whether to release the grand jury report on the Trump election probe in Georgia, the DA suggests indictment decisions are “imminent.” Meantime, classified documents were found at former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home.

Peter Baker, Chuck Rosenberg, Greg Bluestein, Juanita Tolliver, Matthew Dowd, Matthew Belloni, and Philip Bump join.
