Emily Kohrs, a grand jury foreperson based in Atlanta, Georgia, sparked conversation on social media following interviews about former President Donald Trump and an election crimes investigation.
She is the foreperson for the Georgia grand jury looking into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
During an appearance on CNN, anchor Kate Bolduan asked about the number of indictments recommended in the case.
âI think if you look at the page numbers of the report, thereâs about six pages in the middle that got cut out. Allow for spacing, itâs not a short list,â Kohrs replied.
Bolduan responded, âNot a short list. I mean, when it comes to 75 witnesses, itâs not â I assume, of course, itâs not 75 people. Would you characterize it as 20-ish people?â
Kohrs said she did not count them.
âOkay. More than a dozen, though, I think I had heard you say in another interview?â Bolduan said.
Kohrs answered, âI believe so. Thatâs probably a good assumption.â
When asked directly about whether charges were recommended against Trump, Kohrs said, âI really donât want to share something that the judge made a conscious decision not to share. I will tell you that it was a process where we heard his name a lot.â
She continued, âWe definitely heard a lot about former President Trump, and we definitely discussed him a lot in the room. And I will say that when this list comes out, you wouldnât â there are no major plot twists waiting for you.â

Twitter users were quick to share their thoughts on the interview.
âHer face canât decide which way it wants to go. Giving me motion sickness,â one user said in the replies.
One tweet suggested Kohrs âseems animated by something.â
Another user tweeted, âShe creeps me out â her body language, giggles, expressions, everything about this was odd as hell.â
Reporter Chuck Ross explained, âVery sketchy. Emily Kohrs, the foreperson on the Trump grand jury in Georgia, is making the rounds at all major media outlets to tease what the grand jury decided. This is before any indictments have been handed down.â
Journalist Don Bradshaw suggested there is âsomething âoffâ about these interviews with Grand Jury foreperson .â
He continued, âFlighty. Immature. Starstruck. Detached. It almost seems like she believes she was a reality-show contestant, and not part of one of the most significant legal cases in U.S. history.â

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been looking into Trumpâs attempt to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Twitter users were not the only ones puzzled by Kohrsâ decision to provide interviews to different outlets.
CNNâs Anderson Cooper and Elie Honig discussed the matter.
âFirst of all, why this person is talking on TV, I do not understand. Because, sheâs clearly enjoying herself, but I mean, is this responsible? She was the foreperson of this grand jury,â Cooper said.
He added, âI was wincing just watching her eagerness to like, hint at stuff.â
Honig replied, âItâs painful in that respect. Thatâs a very serious prospect here. Weâre talking about â indicting any person, youâre talking about potentially taking away that personâs liberty â weâre talking about potentially former president for the first time in this nation of history. She does not seem to be taking that very seriously.â
As CNN noted, Trump is also being investigated by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and his handling of classified material.
