(DailyEmailNews.com) – Defying the left’s relentless attempts to undermine Donald Trump’s leadership even after his 2024 election win, the president-elect now asserts presidential immunity in his 2020 Georgia election fraud case, arguing that state courts will have no jurisdiction once he returns to the White House.

Meanwhile, questions about local bias and political prejudice cloud the Georgia case, inviting skepticism over its intent.
The heart of Trump’s argument lies in the doctrine of presidential immunity.
Trump’s attorneys submitted filings asserting that a sitting president is immune from indictment or any criminal process, either state or federal.
His legal team has now reached out to the Georgia Court of Appeals, indicating that any attempt to prosecute him once in office would be unconstitutional.
The broader legal community is closely watching this case, especially given the involvement of 19 defendants.
“President-elect Donald Trump is trying to get the Georgia election interference case against him dismissed, claiming the state’s courts will not have jurisdiction over him once he returns to the White House next month,” Law.com writes in a report.
Meanwhile, the case is largely on hold due to pretrial controversies surrounding District Attorney Fani Willis.
Questions concerning a potential conflict of interest have triggered delays, casting doubt on the case’s foundation, reports Fox5 Atlanta.
In another twist, former Trump campaign lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, already pleading guilty, is now seeking to overturn his plea, suggesting systemic issues with the case.
His involvement includes accusations of conspiracy related to the 2020 Georgia election results.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee criticized Willis’s actions as a “tremendous lapse in judgment,” but allowed her to continue provided a special prosecutor stepped aside.
Trump’s legal battles also touch federal grounds, with DOJ special counsel withdrawing other cases against him, adhering to policy protecting sitting presidents from indictment.
This precedent could play a pivotal role in shaping the outcomes of similar cases, especially when presidents return to office.
