TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump has asked a judge to dismiss most of the charges against him in the election interference indictment in Georgia. Trump's lawyer filed a motion that piggybacked off another motion filed by one of his co-defendants, arguing that the indictment is legally unsound and fails to sufficiently allege the existence of a racketeering enterprise. The defense claims that the prosecution's racketeering conspiracy is actually comprised of millions of people throughout the country who believed in election fraud. Legal analysts believe the motion is unlikely to succeed in court, but it may be aimed at influencing public opinion. Trump's trial is set to start on October 23.
