Trump's Georgia Election Case Hearing Concludes Without Ruling

Arguments centered on whether Trump's actions are protected by the First Amendment, with no immediate decision from the judge.

  • A Fulton County judge heard arguments on pretrial motions in the case against former President Donald Trump for allegedly interfering in Georgia's 2020 election results.
  • Trump's legal team argued that the charges should be dismissed on First Amendment grounds, claiming his actions were protected political speech.
  • Prosecutors countered that the indictment is based on criminal acts, not speech, and involves actions integral to criminal conduct.
  • No ruling was made during the hearing, and it is unclear when a decision will be announced.
  • The case is one of four criminal indictments against Trump, with potential implications for the 2024 presidential race.
