If you mean an Indictment by a Grand Jury, the answer is yes. If you mean anything having to do with their deliberations, the answer is no - all of that is secret. In federal criminal cases, and in some state cases, a transcript of the grand jury proceedings which led to an indictment may be obtained through discovery by the defendant in his particular criminal case.
