The Supreme Court of Georgia unanimously dismissed former President Donald Trump's Hail Mary attempt to block Fulton County District Attorneyย Fani Willisโ investigation into allegations of election interference in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump's legal team sought to disqualify Willis from leading the criminal probe and toss the special grand jury report recommending criminal charges for the former president. (RELATED: Trump Blames Chris Christie For His Decision To Nominate FBI Director Christopher Wray)
The grand jury presentation that Trump pressured Georgia lawmakers included testimony from 75 witnesses, including former Trump advisers and state government officials.
The special grand jury is different from a regular grand jury. The special grand jury acted as an investigative tool to evaluate the district attorney's evidence. The recently impaneled Georgia grand jury is considering charges against Trump and his allies for their post-election effort. (RELATED: Trump Confirms J6 Probe Speculation โ Indictment Inbound?)
The high court found that Trump's lawyers failed to prove why this case โpresents one of those extremely rare circumstancesโ it should override the grand jury investigation into whether criminal charges are warranted.

The petition, filed last week, came days afterย Fulton Countyย Superior Court Judge Robert McBurneyย swore in two grand juries on Tuesdayย โ one of which is expected to hear evidence in the Georgia election case.
In the petition, Trump's lawyers claim that the original special purpose grand jury that spent eight months hearing evidence went beyond its lawful purview and that attempts to quash the report and disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis have been ignored by McBurney.
โStranded between the Supervising Judge's proactive passivity and the District Attorney's looming indictment, Petitioner has no meaningful option other than seek this Court's intervention,โ Trump's lawyers wrote.
The state Supreme Court noted in its five-page ruling Monday that Trump has a similar petition pending in Fulton County Superior Court. The justices unanimously declined to overstep the lower court, writing that Trump โmakes no showing that he has been prevented fair access to the ordinary channels.โ
The justices added that the legal filing was devoid of โthe facts or the law necessary to mandate Willis's disqualification by this Court at this time on this record.โ
Following Monday's announcement, the distinct possibility remains of another indictment against the former president coming later this summer.
