Judge Rejects Trump's Attempt to Quash Georgia Probe as Charges Loom

A judge in Georgia has rejected former President Donald Trump's attempt to disqualify the lead prosecutor and block any indictments in the ongoing grand jury investigation into his efforts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. The judge also denied Trump's request to quash a special grand jury report that includes recommendations for charges. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is expected to seek charges in the coming weeks. Trump's lawyers have filed a separate motion to disqualify Willis, which will be heard by another judge. The investigation is examining Trump's attempts to reverse the election outcome and the conduct of his attorneys and individuals involved in the effort.
