The Georgia Supreme Court unanimously rejected former President Trump's attempt to block Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's investigation into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

The court noted that Trump had filed a separate lawsuit in a lower court, which undermined his argument that the legal process had not been given enough time.
