Judge Denies Trump’s Attempt to Dismiss Fulton County DA Willis’ Case
A judge in Georgia has rejected Donald Trump’s attempt to disqualify the prosecutor leading the grand jury investigation into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state. Judge Robert McBurney also denied Trump’s request to quash a special grand jury report that included recommendations on who to charge in connection with the election campaign. The report has been kept under seal pending charges in the case. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has indicated that she plans to seek grand jury approval for charges in August. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has accused Willis of having political motives. The ruling comes just days before potential indictments in the case.
