In a unanimous ruling, the court brushed aside a long-shot request to shut down the grand jury probe led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
A key piece of evidence in the election-related Georgia probe of Donald Trump is an audio recording of a call the former President placed to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger urging him to “find 11,780 votes,” to give Trump the margin of victory in the state.
“He makes no showing that he has been prevented fair access to the ordinary channels,” the high court wrote in an opinion not attributed to any specific justice. “He is asking this Court to step in and itself decide the motions currently pending in the superior court. This is not the sort of relief that this Court affords, at least absent extraordinary circumstances that Petitioner has not shown are present here.
The ruling from Georgia’s high court doesn’t block McBurney or any other judge from granting some or all of Trump’s requests, but says the state court of last resort is not willing to do so in the current posture.
