"Trump Asserts Immunity from Prosecution in Georgia"
TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump is seeking immunity from prosecution for actions taken while in office, arguing that his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia were part of his presidential duties. His attorneys filed a motion in Fulton County Superior Court to dismiss the 13 felony charges, citing historic presidential immunity and separation of powers. Legal experts believe Trump is unlikely to prevail on his immunity claims, but the motions could delay the cases against him. Trump faces both state and federal charges related to his election-related actions, with trials pending in both jurisdictions.
