CNN
About this episode

A special grand jury has been selected in Georgia to determine whether former president Donald Trump and his allies broke any laws in their efforts to overturn the 2020 election. CNN Political Director David Chalian explains how Trump’s election lies are shifting from not just a political conversation, but to a legal one as well. This comes as early voting starts today in Georgia’s primaries... and a few GOP contests in the state are heating up.
