Trump claims free speech protects him from Georgia prosecution | The Excerpt

Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers are arguing that the First Amendment and free speech should protect him from prosecution in Georgia on charges he tried to steal the 2020 election. The argument centers around whether his statements about election management and politics constitute protected speech or if they were effectively coordinating criminal activity by others1. The case alleges that 19 people conspired to attempt to steal the election1. This legal battle continues as Trump seeks to defend his actions using constitutional rights.
