Former President Donald Trump's legal counsel moved to quash the final report from the special purpose grand jury that is recommending indictments involving efforts to subvert the 2020 general election results in Fulton County, Georgia.
The Monday court filing seeks to prevent the Fulton County District Attorney's Office from using any information derived from the special grand jury investigation, and it seeks to recuse the district attorney's office from pursuing charges in the case.Notice of the filings was published on the Superior Court Clerk's Office docket.
Movement from Trump attorneys in the Georgia investigation also coincides with Trump's own expectations that he will be indicted Tuesday in a separate case by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, on charges related to the investigation into hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said last summer she is a"fan of RICO," arguing it is a"tool that allows a prosecutor’s office and law enforcement to tell the whole story.” At the time of the release, the report noted that a majority of the grand jury believed at least one of the over 75 witnesses who testified in the investigation committed perjury or lied under oath.
