Trump calls Fulton County grand jury an 'illegal Kangaroo Court,' brands DA's office 'Racist'

On February 22, 2023, after Fulton County special grand jury forewoman Emily Kohrs gave a series of media interviews describing the panel's deliberations, Trump posted on Truth Social attacking both Kohrs and the investigation. He wrote that 'an extremely energetic young woman, the (get this!) "foreperson" of the Racist D.A.'s Special Grand Jury' was conducting 'a Media Tour revealing, incredibly, the Grand Jury's inner workings & thoughts,' and continued: 'This is not JUSTICE, this is an illegal Kangaroo Court. Atlanta is leading the Nation in Murder and other Violent Crimes. All I did is make TWO PERFECT PHONE CALLS!!!' District Attorney Fani Willis, who is Black, was not accused by Trump of any specific act; commentators noted the 'Racist D.A.' label as part of a broader pattern of racially inflected attacks on prosecutors and officials pursuing him. Legal commentators quoted by NY1 and other outlets said it was Kohrs's own interviews, rather than any DA conduct, that had raised concerns among some ex-prosecutors about complicating the case.
