Trump Seeks Dismissal of Georgia Election Case Citing Presidential Immunity

President-elect Donald Trump argues that his upcoming presidency grants him immunity from prosecution in the Georgia election interference case.

Trump's legal team filed a motion with the Georgia Court of Appeals requesting dismissal of the state-level criminal charges against him, citing constitutional protections for a sitting president.
The motion argues that the prosecution violates the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause and claims state courts lack jurisdiction over a sitting president.
The Georgia case, centered on allegations of election interference in 2020, remains the only active indictment against Trump after federal cases were dropped following his election win.
The case has been stalled while the appeals court considers whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified due to a past relationship with a special prosecutor in the case.
Trump's attorneys have requested a resolution before his inauguration on January 20, while legal experts suggest that even if the case proceeds, it could be delayed until after his presidency.
