which will give us a new look at the investigation into former president trump s efforts to intervene in the 2020 election in georgia. in ohio, a frustrated community demands answers during a heated town hall about the train derailment that released toxic chemicals nearly two weeks ago. a live report ahead on what we can expect as the epa administrator heads there today. plus we have an nbc news exclusive report. president biden plans to deliver his most extensive public remarks yet about the unidentified object shot down over north american airspace as soon as today. we ll talk to senator bob menendez, chair of the foreign relations committee. what he wants to hear from the president. and as house speaker kevin mccarthy leads a republican delegation to the u.s. southern border in arizona, we ll talk to congressman raul grijalva about what needs to be done to address the humanitarian crisis there. we begin with the latest on the investigations into former president dona
right to do so under the law. that special grand jury writes a report, which we will see parts of soon, but can t indict anyone. in order to do that under georgia law, fani willis would need to go to a regular grand jury. she can use the report of the special grand jury to inform her prosecutive decisions. so the whole thing is unusual. this is not standard practice, as i mentioned, in federal court and it is not standard practice in many states in the union. this is how it works in georgia. and because they have some quirky special grand jury, which can write its report and inform the decision of the prosecutor, well, you know, the whole thing is unusual. and, chuck, there was that issue that just kind of that garrett was talking about at the beginning, that there s a possibility that witnesses who the grand jury said were not necessarily truthful in their testimony. what would happen to that
