Former President Donald Trump is, for a second time, requesting that a Georgia court shut down an investigation into allegations he interfered in the state’s elections in 2020.

On Thursday, Mr. Trump’s legal team asked the Superior Court for Fulton County, Georgia, to quash a report prepared by a special purpose grand jury (SPGJ) involved in the months-long investigation. Mr. Trump’s lawyers also called on the court to block any evidence obtained through that special purpose grand jury from being reintroduced in court and asked to disqualify Democratic Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from any further proceedings involving the former president.
