Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Donald Trump's legal team has filed a request with the Georgia Court of Appeals to dismiss the election interference case against him, asserting that prosecution is unconstitutional for a sitting president. The appeal cites presidential immunity and jurisdictional questions, following similar dismissals of federal cases. The case, among several criminal matters faced by Trump, includes charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. Trump's lawyers argue that, as president-elect, he cannot be subject to criminal prosecution, a stance recently echoed in federal dismissals.
