Donald Trump Seeks Dismissal of Legal Cases Following Presidential Re-Election

Trump's legal team argues for immunity and cites Biden's pardon of his son as a precedent for dropping charges.

Donald Trump has formally requested the dismissal of legal cases against him in Georgia and New York, citing presidential immunity following his re-election.
In Georgia, Trump is accused of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results; his lawyers argue state prosecutors lack jurisdiction over a sitting president.
Two federal cases against Trump were dropped last week, as the Department of Justice adhered to its policy of not prosecuting a sitting president.
In the Stormy Daniels case, Trump's lawyers are pushing for the annulment of his conviction, referencing Joe Biden's recent pardon of his son Hunter as an example of selective justice.
The Supreme Court's earlier expansion of presidential immunity and Biden's pardon decision have intensified debates over the legal boundaries of presidential powers.
