Trump's attorneys want Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's office to be recused from any further investigation or prosecution of the matter involving Trump.
In a nearly 500-page filing submitted to a state court in Fulton County, Ga., Trump's attorneys criticized the process of the special purpose grand jury, calling it"confusing, flawed, and at-times, blatantly unconstitutional."
"Given the scrutiny and the gravity of the investigation and those individuals involved – namely, the movant President Donald J. Trump, this process should have been handled correctly, fairly, and with deference to the law and the highest ethical standards," lawyers Jennifer Little and Drew Findling wrote.
The grand jury was empaneled in early May 2022 following a request by Willis and served as an investigatory body that could recommend charges, but not issue indictments. Consisting of 26 Fulton County residents, three of whom were alternates, the grand jury was created to investigate circumstances related to possible attempts to disrupt the administration of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
