Atlanta-area prosecutor Fani Willis urged a judge to reject former President Donald Trump’s demands that her office be disqualified from investigating his efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
The judge should also refuse Trump’s bid to suppress all evidence gathered last year by a special purpose grand jury and expunge its report on the election, Willis’s lawyers argued Monday in a court filing. Among other arguments, they said Trump was too late to request Willis’s removal.
