Looks like a domino effect….
President-elect Donald Trump is seeking to dismiss his Fulton County court case in Georgia due to a “lack of jurisdiction.”
Trump and his legal team filed the motion with the Georgia Court of Appeals on Dec. 4, claiming there is limited jurisdiction as he will soon be the 47th President of the United States, citing presidential immunity. “President Trump has filed a motion requesting the Georgia Court of Appeals confirm its lack of jurisdiction to continue hearing his appeal now that he is President-Elect and will soon become the 47th President of the United States, and then direct the trial court to immediately dismiss the case,” the motion read, filed by attorney Steve Sadow.
“The filing states that any ongoing criminal proceeding against a sitting president must be dismissed under the U.S. Constitution. The two federal criminal cases have already been dismissed by the DOJ.”
The filing comes just days after Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis was asked to hand over all communications with special counsel Jack Smith. The two offices were instructed to prosecute the four-time indicted businessman separately.
