ATLANTA — The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is opposing a request by the Fulton County district attorney’s office to put under seal court documents it intends to file in the ongoing investigation of former President Donald Trump and his allies.
“Operating the judicial branch of government in an open and public manner is fundamental to our system of justice as a matter of both federal and state constitutional law,” the Journal-Constitution’s motion said.
In a court filing Monday, the DA’s office asked Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, who is overseeing the special purpose grand jury investigation, for permission to file its motion under seal.
