Former President Donald Trump was exercising his First Amendment rights when he contested the 2020 election results, his lawyer said Thursday as the marquee racketeering case got back on track in Georgia after lead prosecutor Fani Willis' dating life nearly derailed it.
Racketeering case back on track after Fani Willis' love life tripped up prosecutorsFormer President Donald Trump was exercising his First Amendment rights when he contested the 2020 election results, his lawyer said Thursday as the marquee racketeering case got back on track in Georgia after lead prosecutor Fani Willis’ dating life nearly derailed it.
The state said the defense was missing the big picture of the case, which alleges Mr. Trump and allies engaged in a conspiracy that violated Georgia’s version of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Mr. Sadow filed his First Amendment motion last year, before a separate push to dismiss the indictment because Ms. Willis dated Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor on the case who received taxpayer money.
Ms. Willis began investigating Mr. Trump three years ago, based on his efforts to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to dig up enough votes to overturn what the former president called a rigged 2020 electoral victory for Mr. Biden in the state. A grand jury last year indicted Mr. Trump and his associates.
