"Judge's Decision on Trump's Georgia Election Interference Case in First Hearing Since Fani Willis Fiasco"

Donald Trump's lawyer argued in a Georgia courtroom that the charges against Trump related to the 2020 election should be dismissed on free speech grounds, claiming that his statements about voter fraud were protected by the First Amendment. The hearing marked the first move in the case since the district attorney's affair scandal derailed the initial investigation. The prosecutor countered that Trump's alleged false statements were not the issue, but rather his use of speech as part of a criminal conspiracy. The judge will rule at a later date, and Trump seeks to appeal the decision allowing the district attorney to remain on the case.
