Trump's Fulton County Hearing: Key Highlights and Updates

Former President Donald Trump's attorneys are set to defend him in a Fulton County courtroom for the first time on Friday, as they argue to have the charges thrown out on First Amendment grounds. Trump and his alleged co-conspirators face a combined 41 state charges for attempting to overturn legitimate election results in the 2020 presidential election. Four co-defendants have already pleaded guilty and testified against Trump, while the remaining 15 defendants, including Trump, have pleaded not guilty. The hearing will focus on arguments from Trump's attorneys on why they want to dismiss the indictment on First Amendment grounds. Prosecutors want the trial to begin in August 2024, potentially during Trump's presidential election campaign if he wins the Republican nomination.
