With a Fulton County grand jury expected to decide on indictments imminently, Donald Trump’s motion to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and the judge overseeing the case merits a hearing according to Georgia Senior Superior Court Judge Stephen Schuster, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Schuster set the hearing for August 10th.
Schuster, a retired Cobb County judge, was called in on the case because all active judges in Fulton County recused themselves due to Trump’s motion targeting their fellow Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney as well as Willis. Although pundits give the motion little chance of succeeding, it could impede the issuance of indictments in the case.
