Trump's Legal Team Continues to Seek Dismissal of Georgia Election Interference Charges

Former President Donald Trump has filed a court document asking a Georgia judge to dismiss the election interference charges against him, arguing that the indictment is "invalid under the First Amendment." Trump's attorneys claim that the charges seek to criminalize his core political speech and activity, which is protected by the First Amendment. They argue that Trump's statements about the 2020 election being rigged and stolen are protected speech, even if they were false. Trump and 18 others pleaded not guilty to all charges in August, with four co-defendants taking plea deals.
