Trump Seeks Dismissal Of Georgia Case: I’m Immune

CNN reports:

Former President Donald Trump is seeking to have the sweeping criminal conspiracy case against him in Georgia thrown out by arguing he is protected from prosecution under presidential immunity.

Trump’s immunity claims in the Georgia case, filed on Monday as part of a motion to dismiss state-level criminal charges against the former president, are similar to those argued by his defense team in the federal election subversion case.

“The indictment in this case charges President Trump for acts that lie at the heart of his official responsibilities as President. The indictment is barred by presidential immunity and should be dismissed with prejudice,” the motion filed by Trump’s lawyer in the Georgia case reads.

Trump moves to dismiss the Fulton case because, he claims, trying him for election crimes in Georgia after the 2020 election violates Double Jeopardy: he was already impeached and tried in the Senate for inciting an insurrection.
