Former President Donald Trump renewed a request to the Fulton County judge overseeing the Georgia election case to dismiss his indictment and disqualify the district attorney.

On Wednesday, his attorneys responded in court to recent claims made by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in which she said that her speech at an Atlanta church last month was not directed at the former president or the co-defendants in the case. His attorneys have contended that her comments were racially motivated and were designed to incur prejudice against the defendants.
