NEW: In Fulton County, Trump's legal team files a flurry of motions to dismiss his criminal charges based on Supremacy Clause and Presidential immunity, double jeopardy grounds, and due process grounds.

Here's the Presidential immunity motion:

Here's the motion based on due process grounds:

And here's the motion based on double jeopardy grounds: documentcloud.org/documents/2435…

Trump's legal team also says that the district attorney's office has not turned over certain evidence.

Specifically, they want Judge McAfee to compel the district attorney to turn over video testimony of Jeffrey Rosen and Richard Donoghue.

Today marks the deadline for certain pre-trial motions for most defendants. So I expect we'll see lots of activity on the docket today.
Looks like I accidentally posted the double jeopardy motion twice in my second tweet.

Here's the due process motion for those interested: documentcloud.org/documents/2435…

NEW: Trump co-defendant Mike Roman moves to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, alleging that she "has been engaged in an improper, clandestine personal relationship" with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who she appointed to lead the RICO prosecution. Image
Roman claims that "the district attorney and the special prosecutor have violated laws regulating the use of public monies, suffer from irreparable conflicts of interest, and have violated their oaths of office..."

Read the filing: documentcloud.org/documents/2435…
The filing does not provide any witness affidavits or concrete evidence of a romantic relationship between Wade & Willis.

But Roman alleges that "sources close to both the special prosecutor and the district attorney have confirmed they had an ongoing, personal relationship.."

From historic indictments to landmark rulings, 2023 has been a year like no other in America’s courts.

I’m proud of the work we’ve done @lawfare this year. And I’m grateful to all who shared & supported our work.

A look back at some 2023 highlights👇🧵

lawfaremedia.org/article/the-ye…
1/ This year, Trump was indicted on criminal charges in 4 jurisdictions.

@lawfare covered his respective arraignments in excessive detail.

The most memorable arraignment? Florida, where I accidentally started a media line 27 hours before the hearing.

lawfaremedia.org/article/what-a…
2/ But the most dramatic courtroom moment of the year occurred in Georgia, as Mark Meadows sought to move his Fulton County charges to federal court.

I audibly gasped when Meadows’s attorney called the former White House Chief of Staff to the stand.

Hello from the media room in D.C. district court, where I'm watching proceedings in the defamation case brought by former Georgia election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman against Rudy Giuliani.

Freeman has just been called to the stand to testify.

Follow along 👇⬇️👇
Counsel begins by asking Freeman to introduce herself to the jury.

"I am Lady Ruby," Freeman says.

"I am a mother...a proud American citizen...a Christian."
Freeman discusses her childhood & fondness for candy. Counsel holds up a ginger mint and Freeman explains that she frequently hands out the soothing candy.

“I noticed your honor was coughing yesterday, I wanted to give her one so bad,” Freeman says, referring to Judge Howell.

In a new letter, Jim Jordan—chairman of the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee—requests production of documents and other communications exchanged between the office of Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis and the Jan. 6 Committee.

judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…
Image
Jordan cites this Dec. 17, 2021 letter Willis sent to J6C, which requested records relevant to the DA’s criminal investigation.

Jordan says his committee recently became aware of “cooperation” between J6C and Willis’s office.

But… Image
(1) It’s not unusual or improper for law enforcement to request docs from other government bodies.

(2) It’s been publicly known for a while now that Willis received some information from J6C directly.

I mean, it’s literally in the report.

There’s no gotcha here. Image

NEW: The day before Rudy Giuliani proposed "voluntary access" to Georgia voting machines at 2020 White House meeting, he met w/ Cathy Latham, a GOP official who is now indicted for Coffee County breach, posts show.

It's one of many details the GBI missed.
lawfaremedia.org/article/what-t…
Latham had traveled from Coffee County to stay at the Willard Hotel with a tour group.

In DC, she had what she described on social media as a “meeting” w/ Giuliani.

In White House meeting the next day, Giuliani floated proposal to access Georgia voting machines w/ insider help.
Image
Image
But Giuliani wasn’t the only top Trump ally with whom Latham met in D.C.

A newly unearthed photo shows Latham w/ Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell at the Trump Hotel around that time.

Weeks later, Latham escorted a computer forensics team into the Coffee County elections office. Image

Judge McAfee is back on the bench to discuss proposals for Harrison Floyd's amended conditions of release.

The prosecution and defense both took time to draft proposals for new conditions.

McAfee is currently reviewing those proposals on the bench.
The prior order prohibited communication w/ co-defendants about facts of the case.

It sounds like the state's new proposal would impose "no contact" outright between Floyd and co-defendants.

(I don't have a copy of proposed order, but parties are debating conditions now.)
As parties discuss amended bond conditions, Willis refers to "defendant Trump."

Floyd pipes up: "President Trump," he emphasizes.

Judge McAfee cautions Floyd that it's not his turn to speak.
