"Trump Lawyers Seek Dismissal of Georgia Election Case on First Amendment Grounds"

Donald Trump's attorneys are set to argue for the dismissal of election interference charges against the former president in a Georgia courtroom, citing the First Amendment's protection of political speech and advocacy. The hearing marks the first return to court since a failed disqualification effort against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Trump and several co-defendants face charges related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, with Trump's lawyers asserting that the indictment targets core protected political speech and activity. Additionally, lawyers for co-defendant David Shafer are expected to argue alleged flaws in the indictment, including phrases they seek to strike.
