Trump Seeks Dismissal of Georgia Election Case, Citing Presidential Immunity
TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's lawyers have filed a motion with the Georgia Court of Appeals to dismiss the Fulton County racketeering case against him, arguing that as President-elect, he is immune from state or federal indictment. They cite a Justice Department memo stating that sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted, although the Georgia case is a state matter. The case has been delayed due to challenges against the Fulton County DA, and Trump's team is pushing for dismissal before his inauguration.
