Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has asked a judge to quash several subpoenas filed by a defendant in the racketeering (RICO) case against former President Donald Trump and others.

Those efforts aim to compel documents and testimony from “numerous members of the District Attorney’s Office,” according to a 36-page filing, inclusive of several exhibits, submitted to the Fulton County Superior Court on Wednesday afternoon.

“The effort should be promptly brought to a close,” the motion to quash obtained by Law&Crime argues. “Georgia law — as well as authority from across the country — predictably frowns on a process that permits counsel for one litigant to compel the testimony of counsel and employees of the opposing party, and there is no justification to depart from that general principle here.”
