Fulton County prosecutors have revealed a comprehensive witness list for the upcoming trial on election interference, including several senior officials from the Trump administration and top Georgia Republican leaders. The prosecution's list, comprising nearly 200 names, sheds light on the broad range of topics that will be addressed during the trial.

According to sources familiar with the matter, former Vice President Mike Pence, ex-Attorney General Bill Barr, and onetime Justice Department officials Jeffrey Rosen and Richard Donoghue have been included as potential witnesses for the prosecution. Also on the list are U.S. Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania and Steve Bannon, the conservative provocateur and former aide to former President Donald Trump.

In addition to these Trump administration officials, the District Attorney's office may call on several prominent Georgia Republican leaders to testify, such as Governor Brian Kemp, Attorney General Chris Carr, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan. The inclusion of these names highlights the breadth of the issues that the Fulton prosecutors intend to address during the trial.

The witness list was brought to light by individuals who have reviewed it, and some witnesses have even received confirmation that they could be called to testify. One notable witness is Cassidy Hutchinson, formerly one of Mark Meadows' top aides. Hutchinson previously testified before the House Select Committee investigating the U.S. Capitol insurrection and provided insights into Trump's state of mind following the 2020 election.

Former top Justice Department officials Barr, Donoghue, and Rosen, who also testified before the Jan. 6 congressional committee, may require approval from the Biden administration to testify at the Fulton trial. A regulation stipulates that no current or former Justice Department employee may testify without obtaining prior approval from an appropriate department official.

It is worth noting that not all witnesses on the prosecution's list will necessarily be called to testify, but their names must be included for potential consideration. The role of Mike Pence as a witness could be particularly significant, as he might provide crucial testimony about the pressure exerted by Trump and co-defendants to overturn Electoral College results in swing states like Georgia.

Governor Kemp, Secretary of State Raffensperger, Attorney General Carr, and their aides could also provide valuable testimony regarding personal phone calls they received from Trump, pressuring them to take action. Cody Hall, one of Kemp's top aides, is among the witnesses listed by the prosecutors.

The witness list also includes two Republicans who refused to serve as Trump electors in Georgia. John Isakson, the son of the late U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, and C.J. Pearson, a young conservative social media star, may be called to testify and shed light on their decisions.

The release of the witness list has offered a glimpse into the prosecutors' preparations for the trial, which is yet to be scheduled. Some witnesses have already been utilized by prosecutors in previous proceedings related to the case. Ronna McDaniel, Chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, Boris Epshteyn, a close aide to Trump, former libel attorney Lin Wood, and Alex Jones, a right-wing broadcaster and conspiracy theorist, were served with summons.

Furthermore, the prosecution has sought testimony from current and former party officials in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona, who were involved in the Trump campaign's attempt to appoint GOP electors.

The witness list, carefully guarded until recently, was shared with defense attorneys before a new protective order was signed to safeguard sensitive evidence disclosure during the discovery process. While some names have emerged publicly in recent months, the list sheds new light on the potential witnesses who could play a pivotal role in the trial.

The trial, involving 15 defendants, including Trump and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, centers on allegations of a racketeering conspiracy to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. The trial dates are yet to be determined.

Overall, the inclusion of prominent officials and Republican leaders as potential witnesses underscores the significance of the case and the wide-ranging implications it may have on both national and state politics.
