In response to former President Donald Trump's claim that the indictment against him in Georgia should be dismissed based on First Amendment protection, a prosecutor for Fulton County's District Attorney cited a federal judge's ruling in a similar case in Washington, DC.
During a recent hearing, prosecutor Donald Wakeford referenced Judge Tanya Chutkan's evaluation of the issue in Trump's election subversion case in DC. Chutkan, overseeing the case brought by special counsel Jack Smith, had previously denied Trump's attempt to dismiss charges based on claims of absolute immunity as president.
