Georgia Supreme Court denies Trump bid to quash Fulton County investigation
The Georgia Supreme Court unanimously rejected former President Trump’s attempt to block Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s investigation into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. The court dismissed Trump’s legal arguments, stating that he could not use the Supreme Court as a way to circumvent the normal legal channels. The justices said Trump had not shown that the Supreme Court’s original jurisdiction should be invoked at this time. They also backed Willis’s management of the grand jury investigation. The court noted that Trump had filed a separate lawsuit in a lower court, which undermined his argument that the legal process had not been given enough time.
