Former President Trump made a second attempt to quash a Georgia investigation into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state, filing a motion in the state’s supreme court and another court to bar the filing of any charges.
Trump had already filed a motion in March to quash the investigation of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney has not yet made a ruling on the matter but is named as a plaintiff in both suits, including one filed in the court where he serves as a judge.
“While an original petition in this court is disfavored, the extraordinary circumstances here justify it — particularly since petitioners every attempt to seek redress in the normal course have been ignored, and the District Attorney has given every indication that the injury is imminent,” Trump’s legal team wrote in the brief to the Georgia Supreme Court.
Willis notified the court staff that she anticipated the potential for charges during the new grand jury’s term, particularly the second or third week of August.
The filings, made late Thursday, were first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

I’m confused. The Judge is a plaintiff? How?
More delay and frustration tactics from Trump.
