"Trump's Legal Team Argues First Amendment Protection in Georgia Election Interference Case"

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's attorney argued in a Georgia court hearing to dismiss charges against the former president, claiming that his false statements challenging the 2020 election outcome were protected political speech under the First Amendment. Prosecutors vehemently disagreed, asserting that Trump was at the center of a criminal conspiracy to reverse his loss in Georgia. The judge did not rule on the motion to dismiss, and the case is expected to move forward with potential appeals and pretrial motions.
