Dec 4, 2024, 08:15 PM

Donald Trump, the president-elect of the United States, has filed a motion to dismiss the criminal charges against him in Georgia. The charges, including a racketeering (RICO) indictment, were brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Trump is arguing that his election as the 47th president necessitates the dismissal of the case. The motion was filed with a Georgia appeals court as part of his broader effort to challenge the charges stemming from allegations related to his actions during the 2020 election.
