"Trump's Attorney Breaks Silence, Seeks Dismissal or Delay in Georgia Election Interference Case"

Attorneys for Donald Trump and his co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case are seeking to dismiss the case or delay upcoming deadlines. Trump's attorney argues that he is being prosecuted for protected political speech under the First Amendment. Another defendant, Ray Smith, seeks the dismissal of the top racketeering charge, claiming it is too broad. Lawyers for Mark Meadows and Jeffrey Clark are requesting extensions to discovery and pretrial motion deadlines. If any of the motions are granted, specific counts may be dismissed, but the defendants could be re-indicted.
