Trump's Lawyers Attempt to Block Grand Jury Report in Georgia

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump filed a motion in a Georgia court seeking to quash the final report of a special grand jury that investigated whether Trump and some of his allies interfered in the 2020 election results in Georgia. The motion also seeks to “preclude the use of any evidence derived” from the report, and asks that the office of Fani T. Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, be recused from the case. Trump is seen as having two main areas of legal jeopardy in Georgia: the calls he made in the weeks after the 2020 election to pressure state officials to overturn the results there, and his direct involvement in efforts to assemble an alternate slate of electors.
