Following the filing of a lawsuit against former President Trump over Georgia’s 2020 election results, attorney Jack Smith submitted a motion to dismiss the case. Smith argues that the court lacks jurisdiction, as the plaintiffs, including a Georgia voter and the state’s Democratic Party, do not have legal standing. He also claims the case fails to state a claim for relief and is barred by Georgia’s statute of limitations. The plaintiffs allege that Trump’s actions “constituted tortious interference with the election process” and seek compensatory, nominal, and punitive damages. The court will now consider the motion to dismiss.

Judge Brutally Roasts Rudy Giuliani for Not Being Able to Shut up
In an unprecedented move, Judge Ike Smith unleashed a blistering rebuke against former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, criticizing him for incessant interruptions during the Dominion Voting Systems defamation trial. Smith declared, “Mr. Giuliani, I have repeatedly instructed you to remain silent when others are speaking. Your persistent interjections are not only disrespectful but also disruptive to the proceedings.” Smith’s stern rebuke drew gasps from the courtroom as Giuliani appeared visibly shaken, his attempts to defend himself halted by Smith’s determination to maintain order.
