Donald Trump’s Attorneys File Motion to Quash Grand Jury Report and Suppress Evidence in Fulton County Investigation

Former President Donald Trump’s attorneys filed a motion in Fulton County court on Monday to quash the report of a special grand jury that conducted a criminal investigation into whether there were any “coordinated attempts to unlawfully alter the outcome of the 2020 elections” in Georgia by him and his allies. The motion seeks to “quash and expunge” the grand jury report, suppress all evidence that the grand jury gathered, and bar Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from using the report to investigate the matter further.

In a 51-page filing, Trump’s attorneys asked that all evidence stemming from the special grand jury be deemed unconstitutional. The motion also requested that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis be “disqualified from further investigation and/or prosecution of this matter” or any related matter derived from use of special purpose grand jury.

Facing a potential indictment in Fulton County, Georgia, former President Trump took legal action to disrupt the investigation before he could be charged. This is a move that Trump has used in the past in similar cases.

The motion is the latest in a series of legal maneuvers by Trump and his allies to prevent the investigation from moving forward. It remains to be seen whether the motion will be successful in quashing the grand jury report and preventing further investigation. The court will now review the motion and make a decision on whether to grant the requested relief.
