Trump's Legal Team Uses First Amendment Defense to Dismiss Election Racketeering Charges

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has filed a motion to dismiss the criminal racketeering charges against him in Fulton County, Georgia, invoking the First Amendment as a defense. Trump's lawyers argue that the indictment's allegations of political speech and expressive conduct are protected under the First Amendment, preventing government interference at both the federal and state levels. They also claim that the prosecutors have failed to identify any non-speech or non-advocacy conduct in the charges. Trump faces multiple criminal cases as he campaigns for a return to the White House.
