ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Former president Donald Trump’s Georgia attorneys have filed four new motions in their battle against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ massive, historic organized crime-related indictments of the nation’s 45th chief executive.
The motions Monday morning filed in Fulton County Superior Court by attorney Steve Sadow include a motion to dismiss Willis’ charges based on the judicial notion of double jeopardy; a motion arguing Trump has “absolute immunity” from prosecution for actions taken while serving as president; and a motion to dismiss the charges based on administrative procedures.
“The indictment in this case charges President Trump for acts that lie at the heart of his official responsibilities as President,” one of the motions said. “The indictment is barred by presidential immunity and should be dismissed with prejudice.”
