Emily Kohrs Laughs Off Former President’s Statement During Interview

Emily Kohrs, the foreperson of the Georgia special grand jury investigating attempts by Donald Trump and his associates to overturn the 2020 election results, reacted with laughter when informed of Trump’s claim to have been “totally exonerated.”

In an interview, the 30-year-old resident of north Fulton was asked about Trump’s assertion made on social media, where he thanked the grand jury for their “patriotism and courage.” Kohrs rolled her eyes and exclaimed, “Did he really say that? Oh, that’s fantastic. That’s phenomenal. I love it.”

When pressed for a response to Trump’s comments, she invoked her Fifth Amendment rights, stating, “That’s what I have to say to that.”

The special grand jury has recommended indictments for over a dozen individuals on multiple charges, with only parts of its report released so far. Kohrs noted, “It is not a short list,” and mentioned that the jury included eight pages of legal code cited throughout their findings. She served as the leader of the 23-person jury, which convened from May last year until January, hearing testimony from 75 witnesses.

Reflecting on the weight of the grand jury’s work, Kohrs shared her thoughts with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, saying, “I told my boyfriend that if I were in a room with Donald Trump and Joe Biden, they would both want to speak to me.”

Overall, Kohrs described her experience on the special grand jury as “really cool,” underscoring the significance of their investigation.
