Fourteen Page Ruling Against Trump in Georgia On First Amendment Argument to Dismiss - NewsBreak

A Georgia Court issued on Thursday issued a 14 page ruling that allows the prosecution of former president Donald J Trump on grounds of RICO violations to move forward. "After interpreting the indictment’s language liberally in favor of the State as required at this pretrial stage, the Court finds that the Defendants’ expressions and speech are alleged to have been made in furtherance of criminal activity and constitute false statements knowingly and willfully made in matters within a government agency’s jurisdiction which threaten to deceive and harm the government. See Malloy v. State, 293 Ga. 350, 360 (2013); see also Haley v. State, 289 Ga. 515, 528 (2011); Johnson v. State, 233 Ga. App. 450, 451 (1998).
