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 court will now consider the motion to dismiss.
