☆ Trump loses bid to dismiss Georgia election interference case on free speech grounds
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-04 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

A judge on Thursday denied an effort by Donald Trump to dismiss his criminal election interference case in Georgia on grounds that the indictment violates his free speech rights. "Even core political speech addressing matters of public concern is not impenetrable from prosecution if allegedly used to further criminal activity," McAfee wrote. The defendants argued that their speech about Georgia's 2020 election results was political and that they cannot be prosecuted for making even false political statements. But the charges do not hinge solely on whether their election claims were true or false, McAfee wrote. "The allegations that the Defendants' speech or conduct was carried out with criminal intent are something only a jury can resolve."

☆ Trump, Meadows offer quid pro quo on speedy trial to sever Georgia election case from co-defendants
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-13 | by ( Dan Mangan | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Donald Trump on Wednesday offered to "exchange" his right to a speedy trial in his Georgia election-conspiracy case for an Atlanta judge ruling that would have the former president tried separately from 18 other defendants. Trump's co-defendant Mark Meadows, who served as his White House chief of staff, shortly afterward filed an identical offer waiving a speedy trial in exchange for his own case being tried separately. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has yet to rule on the severance requests that Trump, Meadows and 10 other defendants have filed. It is by no means clear that McAfee would grant severances based on waivers of speedy trial. Trump and the other defendants have the absolute right to a speedy trial in the case.

One of those cases, a civil trial in New York, threatens to cripple the former president's company, the Trump Organization . James is seeking $250 million in damages in the civil case. In July, the U.S. Department of Justice dropped a nearly three-year effort to protect Trump from civil liability in the suit. In May, three of Trump's children, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump, were dismissed as defendants from the case after Kaplan proposed that move. The payments were made shortly before the 2016 presidential election, in which Trump defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
