"Judge Denies Trump's Motion to Dismiss Georgia Election Subversion Case"

A judge denied former President Donald Trump's motion to dismiss the Georgia election interference case on First Amendment grounds, stating that even core political speech is not immune from prosecution if allegedly used to further criminal activity. The judge ruled that the indictment alleges more than just political statements and that the speech and conduct alleged is not protected political speech. Trump's attorney expressed disagreement with the ruling but noted that they were allowed to raise the issue later, while Trump has criticized the investigation as politically motivated.
