Trump’s attorney Steve Sadow urged Judge Scott McAfee to consider that Willis’s indictment, in which she alleged Trump violated Georgia’s racketeering law by illegally conspiring to overturn the 2020 election, was “ripe” for a First Amendment challenge.

The judge held a hearing Thursday to examine former President Donald Trump ’s argument that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis ’s case against him in Georgia should be dismissed because Trump’s actions cited in her indictment were protected by the First Amendment.

Judge Scott McAfee heard arguments from both Trump’s attorney and prosecutors about the matter.
