Trump lawyers seeking to quash Atlanta grand jury final report

Donald Trump’s lawyers are seeking to quash an Atlanta special grand jury’s final report recommending charges in a wide-ranging investigation of election interference in Georgia, while also calling for the recusal of the local district attorney’s office from the case.

In court documents filed Monday in Fulton County, Georgia, attorneys for the former president also are seeking to block prosecutors from using any information gathered by the special grand jury during its tenure.

The new filing comes as Trump faces advancing criminal inquiries in multiple jurisdictions, including New York, where the Manhattan district attorney appears to be nearing a decision on whether to bring criminal charges involving a hush money payment Trump made to a porn star in the waning days of the 2016 campaign.
