The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has expanded an ongoing investigation of Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard to include his office's issuance of grand jury subpoenas related to the shooting of Rayshard Brooks, all while not having a grand jury impaneled.
GBI Director Vic Reynolds confirmed Thursday that Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has asked him to investigate Howard's issuance of grand jury subpoenas. Fulton County has not had a grand jury impaneled since March because of COVID-19.
Reynolds said the subpoenas will become part of the GBI's ongoing criminal investigation of about $140,000 in payments Howard received between 2015 and 2019 as CEO of two charitable organizations. Howard also faces a parallel 12-count complaint by the state Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission that he violated campaign finance disclosure laws by failing to report earnings.
