Kenneth Chesebro, one of several former attorneys for Mr Trump charged by Fulton County prosecutors with breaking the law as part of that effort, has filed a motion to dismiss the charges against him based on a technical error — the apparent failure of one of the special prosecutors on the case to go through an official swearing-in process before they began work for the prosecution. It’s an error that one Georgia legal expert noted to ABC News will likely be a meaningless factor in the case, given that the state’s Supreme Court has ruled that such an error would not invalidate the entire indictment against Mr Chesebro or any of Mr Trump’s other codefendants. In a hearing Thursday afternoon in Fulton County, Ms Powell’s attorneys argued that the case against her should be dismissed for a similarly weak reason: An alleged failure by prosecutors to respond to emailed discovery requests regarding specific information sought by the defence. One of Mr Trump’s Georgia codefendants, bail bondsman Scott Graham Hall, pleaded guilty to charges of illegally accessing voting machines in Coffee County last week.
