Trump Lawyers Invoke First Amendment in Bid to Dismiss Georgia Indictment

Former President Donald Trump's attorneys in Georgia have filed a motion seeking to dismiss the charges against him, arguing that his statements about election malfeasance are protected by the First Amendment. The attorneys claim that Trump's speech challenging the election was directed at government bodies responsible for conducting investigations and adjudicating complaints, and therefore should be protected from criminal prosecution. Trump is facing 91 felony counts in four criminal cases and could potentially face years in prison if convicted. Additionally, special counsel Jack Smith is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on questions of presidential immunity, which could impact Trump's defense in Fulton County.
