TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump has filed motions seeking the dismissal of felony racketeering charges against him in Georgia, citing presidential immunity, double jeopardy, and due process protections. Trump's legal team argues that the charges violate his constitutional rights and historical presidential immunity, and that he was impeached and acquitted on articles of impeachment arising from the same alleged facts. Trump has consistently denied the allegations and is expected to attend a federal appeals court hearing in Washington, D.C. regarding a similar presidential immunity claim in a separate criminal case.
