The Georgia Supreme Court has ruled against former President Donald Trump's latest attempts to quash the Georgia election probe.
-- one of which is expected to hear evidence in the Georgia election case.
The former president is asking Georgia's top court to bar the special purpose grand jury's report from ever being used in future legal proceedings, forbid Willis from introducing any evidence her office received from the special purpose grand jury to a regular grand jury, and disqualify Willis from acting in any proceeding involving Trump.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis began investigating the allegations more than two years ago, shortly after a release of a recording of a phone call on Jan. 2, 2021, between then-President Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which Mr. Trump suggested that Raffensperger could "find 11,780 votes" — just enough to overtake Democrat Joe Biden and overturn Trump’s narrow loss in the state.
The former president and his allies have denied wrongdoing, and he has repeatedly described his phone call to Raffensperger as "perfect." His lawyers have called the Fulton County investigation "politically motivated." Former President Donald Trump slammed Fulton County District Attorney fani Willis during his speech Tuesday night after he was arrested for charges in New York City.
