Trump drops motion seeking removal of Georgia DA probing efforts to overturn election

Former President Donald Trump has dropped his remaining motion to have the Fulton County district attorney investigating efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia removed from the case.

Trump's motion to have District Attorney Fani Willis removed from the case was originally filed earlier this month and was scheduled to be heard before a judge on Aug. 10.

Trump's motion to dismiss, which was filed Thursday night, comes after a judge in Georgia last week issued a scathing ruling denying a similar motion seeking the removal of the DA that been filed by Trump's team in March.

In the dismissal filing Thursday, Trump's attorneys said they were only filing the new motion because the earlier one "had been left undecided" and "the forthcoming harm to the petitioner became manifestly imminent"-- but the judge's ruling last week means the effort has now been "satisfied," the filing stated.
