ATLANTA — The Georgia-based legal team representing Donald Trump accused Fulton County prosecutors of running a “clown-like” investigation into whether the former president and his allies criminally interfered in the state’s 2020 elections.
Defense attorneys Drew Findling and Jennifer Little said interviews earlier this week by the forewoman of the special grand jury, which was impaneled last spring to aid prosecutors, undermined the credibility of the probe. They indicated they were keeping their legal options open, including potentially filing court motions in response.
“This type of carnival, clown-like atmosphere that was portrayed over the course of the last 36 hours takes away from the complete sanctity and the integrity and, for that matter, the reliability” of the investigation, Findling told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution late Wednesday.
