Georgia Judge Denies Trump's Attempts to Disrupt Fulton County Probe and Remove District Attorney

A judge in Fulton County, Georgia, has rejected Donald Trump's legal team's efforts to dismiss evidence in the criminal investigation into his attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia and to disqualify the district attorney leading the investigation. The judge ruled that neither Trump nor a GOP fake elector had standing to challenge the investigation at this stage. The district attorney is expected to present her case to a grand jury by September 1, considering charges of racketeering and conspiracy. The judge also dismissed Trump's arguments against the constitutionality of the special grand jury and the district attorney's involvement in the case. Trump's team has also sought to remove the judge from the case, but the judge ruled that his decision should render that effort moot.
