Inside Trump grand jury foreperson’s bonkers Pinterest account — which promotes witchcraft
The forewoman of the Georgia grand jury tasked with probing allegations of interference in the 2020 elections by former President Donald Trump and his associates has a bonkers Pinterest account featuring multiple references to witchcraft and magic spells.
Multiple pins from a Pinterest board purportedly run by Emily Kohrs promoted literature about “Wicca, Witchcraft & Paganism,” in addition to several pins devoted to spell casting.
The revelation came after Trump, 76, took to his Truth Social platform Wednesday to accuse Kohrs of being involved in the “greatest Witch Hunt of all time” after the lead juror went on a bizarre media tour to cryptically discuss the panel’s findings.
In one pin from two years ago that features a pentagram — a symbol of modern occultism — Kohrs, 30, shared how witches can “protect themselves during their magic work” by casting a circle.
Another suggests that “beginner witches” get started by acquiring sea salt, rosemary, quartz and incense, among other things.
Kohrs also shared with her 253 followers information on the “5 types of witches,” which were described as “cosmic,” “divination,” “kitchen,” “sea” and “green” witches.
A LinkedIn profile had listed her job as a scheduling coordinator at Elizabeth Gallo Court Reporting LLC, and her Facebook profile had promoted her work at JOANN Fabrics, according to the Daily Mail. The pages appeared to be inactive Thursday morning.
Kohrs’ apparent appreciation of the occult was seized upon by conservative commentators as evidence that she was in fact leading a literal “witch hunt” against Trump, as legal observers labeled her giddy and eager unprompted television interviews as inappropriate and damaging to prosecutors.
The juror told multiple outlets Tuesday, including CNN, MSNBC and the New York Times, that more than a dozen people would be indicted in connection with the alleged attempt to fraudulently overturn the results of the presidential election.
She also coyly suggested that the former GOP president himself might be indicted — which would be a first in American history.
“I don’t think that there are any giant plot twists coming,” Kohrs said, when asked by MSNBC about that prospect.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis convened the panel to investigate after a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger revealed the then-president asked the official to “find” votes in the formerly red state captured by President-elect Joe Biden.
CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig told “Anderson Cooper 360” that Kohrs’ interviews were a “prosecutor’s nightmare” Tuesday.
“Mark my words, Donald Trump’s team is going to make a motion if there’s an indictment to dismiss that indictment based on grand jury impropriety,” he said, according to a clip of the show recorded by Mediaite.
“She’s not supposed to be talking about anything, really.”
National security attorney Bradley Moss tweeted Wednesday that Kohrs’ media tour was “obscenely stupid, ill-advised and inappropriate,” before adding that it was “highly unlikely” that Kohrs’ public remarks would “undermine” any indictments.
Kohrs appeared to attempt to comply with laws against revealing deliberations in the grand jury process during her bizarre media blitz, which started after the Associated Press revealed her identity through “subpoenas obtained through open records requests” and published an interview Tuesday.
She told the AP that she did not vote in 2020 and “was only vaguely aware” of the false claims of election fraud that were spewed by the Trump team in the wake of his defeat.
The forewoman then went on to divulge that the grand jury was privy to other Trump phone calls not released to the public, and told MSNBC she had been hoping that Trump himself would be forced to testify.
“I kind of wanted to subpoena the former president because I got to swear everybody in,” answered Kohrs.
“And so I thought it’d be really cool to get 60 seconds with President Trump, of me looking at him and being like, ’Do you solemnly swear…’ And me getting to swear him in.”
Trump did not appear before the grand jury, but 75 other people, including cohorts such as former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Marc Short, the onetime chief of staff for former Vice President Mike Pence, did testify.
The grand jury wrapped up its investigation in December and recommended that its findings be published, a suggestion Willis opposed while weighing indictments.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney released a redacted version of the panel’s report last week, which revealed jurors believed “perjury may have been committed by one or more witnesses.”
Trump is also under federal investigation for his role in the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and for the illegal storage of troves of classified documents at his Florida resort.
The probes come as the 76-year-old Manhattan real estate mogul runs for president for a third consecutive time.
An indictment would not disqualify him from seeking high office again under the Constitution.
