Trump’s group is looking for to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and efficiently maim her probe case by disallowing proof she gathered through an unique grand jury.
The Georgia state Supreme Court last month rejected a similar demand by the previous president, straight to that high court, on the premises that he was looking for that relief too early, without lower courts ruling initially.
Whether the Supreme Court will look in a different way on any appeal by Trump of the lower court’s current rejection stays to be seen.

If the D.A. prosecutes Trump, it will be the 4th time the Republican governmental prospect has actually been criminally charged.
