Fulton County prosecutors list top Trump aides, Georgia officials as witnesses

ATLANTA — Fulton County prosecutors could call several senior officials who served in the Trump administration and Georgia’s top elected leaders as witnesses during the trial for their election interference case, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has learned.

Among the names prosecutors have included on their almost 200-person witness list: former Vice President Mike Pence; ex-Attorney General Bill Barr; onetime Justice Department officials Jeffrey Rosen and Richard Donoghue; U.S. Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania; and Steve Bannon, the conservative provocateur and former aide to former President Donald Trump.

The District Attorney’s office could also call several of Georgia’s top Republican leaders, including Gov. Brian Kemp, Attorney General Chris Carr, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan.

The names were provided to The AJC by several people who have reviewed the witness list, and confirmed by some who have been told they could be called to testify.

The large roster showcases the breadth of topics that Fulton prosecutors may broach at trial, which has yet to be scheduled. The case’s now 15 defendants, including Trump and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, have been accused of engaging in a racketeering conspiracy to overturn the results of Georgia’s 2020 election.

A spokesman for DA Fani Willis declined to comment.

CNN first reported about Pence being on the DA’s witness list, but the other names had not been previously known.
