Key Figure in Georgia Trump Investigation Reveals Messages Linking Trump's Team to Voting System Breach

Judge Robert McBurney, a Fulton County Superior Court judge, has played a key role in the Georgia investigation into former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. McBurney oversaw the selection process for the grand jury that will hear the Trump case and has made significant rulings, including rejecting Trump's request to throw out evidence collected by the grand jury. While McBurney previously blocked District Attorney Fani Willis from investigating a Republican state senator, he concluded that Willis did not inject partisanship into the Trump investigation. McBurney's rulings and temperament have had a significant impact on the closely watched case, in which indictments are expected to be handed up this week.
