During a recent hearing regarding Donald Trump's attempt to dismiss an indictment in Georgia on First Amendment grounds, prosecutors contended that it was premature to address free speech arguments at this stage. The hearing, held on Thursday, saw Donald Wakeford, a prosecutor from the Fulton County district attorney's office, arguing that First Amendment arguments should be presented before a jury during the trial rather than being considered prematurely.
Wakeford emphasized that all the communication from Trump mentioned in the indictment pertained to the charges in the case and therefore did not fall under the protection of the First Amendment.
