Donald Trump requests that the Georgia election case be dismissed because of his presidential immunity.  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 claims the Georgia case, filed on Monday as part of a motion to dismiss state-level criminal charges against the former president, is similar to those argued by his defense team in the federal election subversion case. 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.

Monday’s filing in the Georgia case is what the former president’s lawyers have repeatedly asserted about Trump working in his official capacity as president when he undermined the 2020 election results and therefore has immunity.
