Special grand jury recommended charging right-wing lawyer Lin Wood

The special grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, recommended charges against right-wing lawyer Lin Wood, who promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. 

He did not end up facing charges, and he has denied wrongdoing.

Wood, a veteran Atlanta-area defense attorney who later embraced pro-Trump conspiracy theories, was involved in a handful of meritless lawsuits in 2020 that unsuccessfully tried to overturn the election in Georgia and elsewhere. State election officials described his election claims as “disinformation.”  

Back in July, Wood gave up his law license in an apparent move to stave off disciplinary proceedings tied to his attempts to overturn the election
