Trump drops challenge to Georgia district attorney, cites alternative judicial review.
Trump’s Legal Team Explores New Avenues for Judicial Review in Georgia Indictment Case
Former President Donald Trump’s legal team has made it clear that they are not backing down in their fight against a potential fourth indictment this year. However, they have decided to drop a lawsuit that sought to force a Georgia state judge to rule on Trump’s request to trump-withdraws-bid-to-challenge-georgia-district-attorney-citing-other-channels-for-judicial-review/" title="Trump drops challenge to Georgia district attorney, cites alternative judicial review.”>dismiss evidence obtained by a grand jury and disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis from the investigation.
In a recent motion, Trump’s attorneys stated that they will now pursue “other channels to seek judicial review” of the grand jury and Willis’ involvement in the case. This indicates their intention to appeal the decision made by Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney.
Willis, who has been investigating Trump since February 2021, is expected to make a decision this month on whether to bring charges against the former president and potentially his associates. It is worth noting that the grand jury in question only had advisory powers and could not issue indictments.
Trump is already facing three other indictments, and the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office has announced security measures around the courthouse in anticipation of potential developments in the case.
Willis’ Investigation and Trump’s Controversial Phone Call
The investigation into Trump was initiated by Willis following a phone call he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on January 2, 2021. During the call, Trump urged Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes,” the exact number needed to secure his victory over Joe Biden in the state during the 2020 election.
Last week, Willis hinted that an indictment could be imminent, stating, “We’ve been working for two and a half years — we’re ready to go.”
As the legal battle continues, Trump’s team is determined to explore all available options to challenge the ongoing investigation. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the former president and his associates.
