Trump Seeks Dismissal of Georgia Election Case, Citing Presidential Immunity
TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump has requested a Georgia court to dismiss the criminal case against him concerning efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, arguing that a sitting president is immune from prosecution. Trump's legal team claims the Georgia Court of Appeals lacks jurisdiction and should dismiss the indictment. The case is currently on hold as the court considers whether Fulton County DA Fani Willis can remain on the case, amid questions about her impartiality. Meanwhile, Kenneth Chesebro, involved in the fake electors plot, is challenging his guilty plea in the same case.
