Trump's Legal Defense: Challenging Indictments, Doubting Election Results, and Seeking DOJ Communications

Former President Donald Trump plans to defend himself against criminal charges in Georgia by arguing that his claims about voting fraud were protected by the First Amendment as "core political speech." Trump's attorney asserts that the indictment against him is based on content-based political speech and expressive conduct, and that the remedy for false speech is more speech, not a criminal prosecution. Trump is also using a similar First Amendment defense in a separate federal case related to election subversion.
