Clifford Harris aka "T.I." and his attorneys fired the first salvo in defense of the federal case against him.
According to the AP, T.I. filed motions Monday in U.S. District Court seeking to suppress evidence seized from his vehicle and statements he made to feds on the day of his arrest.
His attorneys claim his Range Rover was searched without a warrant and items seized during that search cannot be used as evidence against him.
The attorneys also want a judge to throw out statements T.I. made on Oct. 13 - the day he was arrested in a shopping center parking lot while attempting to take possession of automatic weapons and silencers from his bodyguard.
The motions also allege improper detainment and claim Harris' rights may have been violated.
Harris who is under house arrest, released a video statement last week thanking the judge for giving him bond and allowing him to await trial in the comfort of his Jonesboro mansion, "instead of, you know, the clear alternative."
On Thanksgiving day, the Grand Hustle family and Atlantic Records will donate 400 turkeys to needy families in Atlanta. And Harris intends to reach out to his celebrity friends to raise cash for Hosea's Feed the hungry.
Harris faces up to 10 years and $250,000 fine on each weapons charge.
