Is Donald Trump inching closer toward a reprieve? The former president, who is facing various legal battles, received some positive news on Monday in regard to his ongoing legal battle in the Peach State.
Fulton Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney told District Attorney Fani Willis‘s (D) office on Monday to respond by May 1 to Trump’s March 20 motion that “seeks the disqualification of the District Attorney’s Office from any further investigation into or prosecution of such alleged interference.”
“That response, beyond addressing the various contentions in the former President’s motion, should also include an opinion on whether the motion requires a hearing for proper resolution,” McBurney wrote.
Last week, Trump’s legal team issued a 50-page filing seeking to halt the report from a special grand jury in Georgia‘s 2020 election probe as well as bar the use of any evidence derived from the report. (RELATED: Trump Files Move To End Georgia Election Probe)
“The results of the investigation cannot be relied upon and, therefore, must be suppressed given the constitutional violations,” Trump’s attorneys wrote in their motion in Georgia court.
The Democrat DA opened the investigation into Trump’s alleged election interference days after a recording was posted of a January 2021 phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger urging him to “find” enough votes to overturn his defeat in Georgia.
Last month, American Liberty News reported that the Georgia grand jury recommended indictments against multiple individuals. So far, no indictments have come from the probe but forewoman Kohrs seemed to indicate Trump, and others could expect to be charged.

“It is not a short list,” the forewoman Kohrs said in an interview.
In an interview with CBS News, Trump’s attorneys Jennifer Little and Drew Findling said the public comments by Kohrs solidified their suspicions that the investigation was tainted. The team of lawyers then raised concerns about the appearance of a “relationship” between prosecuting attorneys and the members of this grand jury.
The judge’s order for Willis to respond to Trump’s motion in the Georgia investigation coincides with mounting tension surrounding a separate investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) into hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
Last week, Trump issued a statement to his Truth Social account indicating he expected to authorities to indict him last Tuesday. However, no official charges have been filed against Trump.
