Donald Trump filed motion after motion on Monday urging a Georgia judge to dismiss the election interference case against him.
In the first motion to Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, Trump argued that he had presidential immunity when he allegedly conspired to organize an alternate slate of electors to overturn the 2020 election.
"The President's absolute immunity shields him from criminal prosecution as well as civil suit," attorneys for Trump wrote.
A subsequent filing asserted Trump enjoyed double jeopardy protections because he had already been tried in the Senate's impeachment trial after the attack on Jan. 6, 2021.

"The indictment must be dismissed because President Trump was impeached, tried by the Senate, and acquitted on articles of impeachment that arise from the same alleged facts and course of conduct as the criminal indictment in this case," that motion claimed.
Trump claimed the prosecution violated his due process rights in a third court document.
"President Trump lacked fair notice that his advocacy in the instance of the 2020 Presidential Election could be criminalized," the filing said. "President Trump, like all citizens, is entitled to have fair warning as to where the line is drawn which separates permissible activity from that which is allegedly criminal."
It was unclear when McAfee would respond to the motions.
