A judge presiding over the Fulton County special grand jury that is considering charges in connection with efforts to tamper with the outcome of the 2020 general election has ordered District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat, to reply to former President Donald Trump’s petition to quash the jury’s proceedings.

On March 27, Fulton Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney instructed Willis’s office to reply to Trump’s March 20 request that “seeks the disqualification of the District Attorney’s Office from any further investigation into or prosecution of such alleged interference” by May 1.
