Trump, as President-Elect, Seeks Dismissal of Georgia Election Interference Case

Dec 4, 2024, 08:43 PM

President-elect Donald Trump has requested that the Georgia Court of Appeals dismiss the criminal charges brought against him by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. The case, centered on alleged election interference related to the 2020 election, was filed by Willis. Trump's legal team argues that his election as president-elect necessitates the dismissal of the charges, citing the unconstitutionality of prosecuting a sitting president. This move comes as Trump prepares to return to the White House next month.
