The Fulton County District Attorney’s office argues the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump should proceed despite his inauguration, rejecting claims of presidential immunity. Chief Senior Assistant District Attorney F. McDonald Wakeford stated that Trump's legal team failed to show how the case would affect his presidential duties or why state prosecutors should follow DOJ rules protecting sitting presidents from federal prosecution. Trump’s attorney, Steve Sadow, countered that the state failed to address Trump’s immunity claim, insisting the indictment must be dismissed.
