Trump seeks dismissal of Georgia election charges

Former President Donald Trump's attorneys have filed motions to dismiss charges against him in the Georgia election interference case. The motions adopt arguments previously put forth by some of Trump's co-defendants, who are accused of violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Trump's lawyers argue that the charges against him should be dismissed based on constitutional grounds and the Supremacy Clause. Trump faces 13 criminal counts in the indictment, and all defendants have pleaded not guilty. The move to dismiss comes after Trump's lawyers indicated a potential effort to move the case to federal court, which has been unsuccessful for another defendant. The trial is scheduled to begin next month.
