but this is what he's saying in part of this 140-page legal filing in georgia. his attorney writing here that the indictment in this case charges president trump for acts that lie at the heart of his official responsibilities as president. he goes on to say the indictment is barred by presidential immunity and should be dismissed with prejudice. they're also going on to say that a state -- the state does not reserve the right to charge a president, that is something that should be delegated to them. this filing, we're still going through it, over 140 pages. frankly, as i mentioned, one that we had been anticipating him to argue here. it comes among a slew of motions that he's presenting today. they're also compelling the da to try to get evidence from the january 6th select committee that they believe is out there, and that they would like to see. but the most significant filing, of course, is this dismissal or push to dismiss his case here in georgia because of presidential immunity. kate? >> nick, thank you so much for the update. >>> we've now learned that th

here in georgia. it is a little bit hard to follow, but this is michael, who his attorneys have been saying, you know, about evidence that bonnie willis had with nathan wade that she is financially benefiting from the salary that he has a special prosecutor. i mean, when you look at this, how serious of an issue do you think this could be for bonnie willis here? >> well, up until today i have generally had almost nothing but good things to say about how da willis has been handling this case, but with the core operation that came out this afternoon and the allegations that are being made against her, you know? i have said that i think she should seriously consider taking a personal leave and stepping away from the office. that is the case that doesn't go right off the work rails right now. >> she hasn't outright denied the allegations itself in defense of nathan wade, who she hired here and why she hired him. but i wonder, clark, what you read into the credit card statements and what we saw today. >> w

for georgia, for example, the following statistics appeared. in '23, 1,856 people entered the country. and left 1.887. that is, 30 thousand more, that is, outflow, it turns out. it seems that among them are the same relaxants. why do they come back? maybe someone is tired of eating from garbage dumps, a fashion invented in the west nafreeganism looks, to put it mildly, disgusting. these are real photos from tbilisi, and no matter how you convince yourself of the supposed environmental friendliness of such an approach, no matter how you adapt any pseudo-philosophy to it, scraps remain scraps and stories are usually forced, of course, because there is no normal work in georgia for russian relaxants. in the latest report of an international sociological project, there are as many quotes as you like: from the words of real people, how difficult it is to find a job in georgia. yes, in kazakhstan it is not easier with work and housing. here the man changed apartments six times, literally living out of his suitcases. those who left were workers, usual

in georgia there is anthrax, but it doesn't just exist as a sample of the virus in a laboratory. anthrax exists naturally here and is found in livestock. during the soviet union , this deadly disease was virtually defeated in the caucasus, and all animals were required to be vaccinated. to reduce the incidence of disease on farms, the entire herd is vaccinated and sick animals are culled. this continued until the beginning. they stopped the vaccination program. the government did this to see how anthrax would develop in new generations more resistant to antibiotics, with the ultimate goal of being used as biological warfare weapons. there are many families in georgia who have dogs, cats or other pets, and there are many diseases that are dangerous for both people and animals. anthrax, abandoned, rabies, leshmanos. according to the georgian center for diseases and public health , almost 60 people fell ill with anthrax in the country in 2014. year after year, the numbers of infected people grew at such a rate that recently it was difficult to determine the symptoms deadly disease,

what could a ruling in this case have on the georgia case? >> depending on how broadly that argument is dealt with by the d.c. circuit, it certainly would have influence on it but it won't be binding on a georgia state court. that would require that case going up, jose, to the united states supreme court. and again, there, if the united states supreme court says there is no immunity from criminal prosecution for a former or even current president who exceeds the boundaries of their duties with respect to the conduct with which they've been criminally charged, then, i think, you have an argument that it's not only influnable, but it will be binding on the judge. >> just trying to keep track of all of the different cases the former president is dealing with. on thursday, clorguments are expected in trump's new york civil fraud trial james filed a motion asking the judge to fine the trump organization $370 million. more than the $250 million originally estimate. she also wants to ban trump and two former executives from the real estate industry

we won again, and that's why the people of georgia were able to vote in the runoff. about 100,000 people voted, and that was the margin roughly of my victory. voter suppression matters. standing up for the voices of ordinary people matters. thank you, centre for american progress for your work. thank you for standing up on behalf of the best of our values time and time again, and no matter how difficult it seems, don't let anybody discourage you . don't let anybody turn you around. there are moments when i feel discouraged, but i remember my parishioner john lewis, whose funeral i officiated. i asked myself the night before i officiated his funeral, what was john lewis thinking when he crossed that edmund pettus bridge? was he thinking that one day at the end of his life at his funeral there would be three american presidents on both sides of the aisle there to pay him tribute? he could not have imagined that. that's not what he did it. did he do it thinking he would be the recipient of the presidential medal of freedom? certainly that's not why he did it. what was j
