Trump lawyers try to BLOCK final Georgia grand jury report on bid to overturn the election

Lawyers for President Donald Trump have filed a motion in a Georgia court to block the report produced by a special grand jury as they seek to force the Fulton County prosecutor to withdraw from the case entirely.

The bold legal move comes amid reports that Georgia prosecutors are considering filing racketeering and conspiracy charges in their investigation into an effort by Trump and some of his allies to overturn the 2020 election.

The motion would “preclude the use of any evidence derived” from the report, and it comes after the forewoman of the jury in the case made public indications that several people could be charged.

The legal move in Georgia comes days after Trump posted on his Truth Social site that he would be arrested Tuesday in connection with Stormy Daniels’ ‘silent money’ scheme and called for protests, amid tense preparations in Manhattan for possible charges.

the georgia presentation asks the court to secure the removal of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who has been the target of repeated attacks by Trump, and asks that she be “disqualified from any further involvement in this matter.”

Trump’s lawyer, Drew Findling, told the New York Times had issued the filing on behalf of his client.

The special grand jury heard testimony in the case for months beginning in May, though a separate grand jury would actually bring charges.

Jury foreperson Emily Kohrs garnered attention with a series of media appearances, including one in which she said it would have been an “incredible moment” if she were to swear in Trump after a subpoena.

It also seemed to indicate that there could be multiple accusations in the case.

“Can you imagine doing this for eight months and not coming up with a full list” of recommended indictments, Kohrs? told CNN last month. It is not a short list. It’s not.’

There were indications that Trump’s legal team would seek to quash any indictment, in part by pointing to media statements about the case. Trump, at the time, called it a “kangaroo court.”

The filing seeks to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

The move comes after Trump said he could be arrested Tuesday in connection with a separate case in Manhattan, where District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been investigating ‘quiet’ payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, who he alleges had an affair with Trump. Trump denies his accusations

Emily Kohrs, chairwoman of the Atlanta-based grand jury that investigated former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, went on a media tour dropping hints about the indictments that could be brought.

“I wanted to hear from the former president, but honestly, I wanted to subpoena the former president because I have to swear in everyone,” he said. “So I thought it would be really cool to have 60 seconds with President Trump, me looking at him and saying, ‘Do you solemnly swear?’ And I can swear to it,” he continued.

Willis has been investigating conduct related to the effort by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election results, including the former president’s infamous phone call with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to “just find 11,780 votes.”

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which spoke with several members of the special grand jury, reported that the members also heard a recording of an additional call from Trump to former Georgia House Speaker David Ralstonnow deceased.

The former Republican president interrupted Trump, according to a grand jury, telling Trump: “I will do everything in my power that I deem appropriate.”

According to the Times, experts say Willis is building a case that “could target multiple defendants on charges of conspiring to commit voter fraud or racketeering-related charges.”

CNnorth He also reported that prosecutors are looking into possible charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, which is often used to combat organized crime.
