Lawyers for former President Donald Trump on Monday asked a Georgia court to suppress the report of a special purpose grand jury that investigated alleged efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election.
In a nearly 500-page filing submitted to a state court in Fulton County, Ga., Trump's attorneys criticized the process of the special purpose grand jury, calling it "confusing, flawed, and at-times, blatantly unconstitutional."
In addition to asking the court to quash the grand jury's December report, expunge it from the record, and prevent any prosecuting body from using evidence derived from the grand jury, Trump's lawyers also want Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' office to be recused from any further investigation or prosecution of the matter involving Trump.
"Given the scrutiny and the gravity of the investigation and those individuals involved – namely, the movant President Donald J. Trump, this process should have been handled correctly, fairly, and with deference to the law and the highest ethical standards," lawyers Jennifer Little and Drew Findling wrote.
