Former President Donald Trump's bid to quash a grand jury report from Georgia and to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from a case involving his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results has been denied.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney denied the motion to dismiss the grand jury report as moot and denied the motion to disqualify Willis and her office in a filing on Monday.
McBurney also said Willis has been"fairly routine and legally unobjectionable" in her handling of the case and the grand jury. "The District Attorney's Office has been doing a fairly routine — and legally unobjectionable — job of public relations in a case that is anything but routine. None of what movants cite rises to the level of justifying disqualification, and all of it, collectively, falls far short of what prompted the District Attorney's disqualification from the investigation into Lieutenant Governor Jones," McBurney wrote.
The quashed motions come as Trump has a different challenge trying to get Willis disqualified and have McBurney sidelined from overseeing the case. That challenge is being handled by former Cobb County Senior Judge Stephen Schuster after every other Fulton County judge recused themselves.Schuster set a hearing date for the motion for Aug. 10.
Willis is reportedly targeting July 31-Aug. 18 as a time period to press charges against Trump recommended by the grand jury.
