Raffensperger has since admitted illegal ballot harvesting took place in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis claimed the probe seeks to establish the truth.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe\u2019re going to try to make it as short of a day as possible,\u201d said Willis. \u201cWe\u2019ll try to ask questions that are not too intrusive while getting a grand juror that can seek the truth, so thank you for your service and being here today.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The grand jury gathered just ahead of the films \u201c2,000 Mules\u201d release. In that film, political analyst Dinesh D\u2019Souza said he details \u201cpaid ballot traffickers stuffing the ballot boxes\u201d in Georgia in violation of election law.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/rep-fred-keller-we-need-an-america-first-agenda\/\">Rep.
