The former president's lawyers had filed a motion to dismiss the four charges against him in his federal election interference case.
An attorney has said Judge Tanya Chutkan made an important distinction in her Saturday ruling where she shot down Donald Trump's motion to dismiss the federal charges against him in the election interference case, in her first ruling since getting the case back off the Supreme Court.
'This is important because this part of the indictment is critical to preventing Trump from raising a First Amendment defense on appeal if he's convicted,' Vance wrote.'Jack Smith carefully framed the indictment to clarify Trump is not charged with engaging in political speech that is protected by the Constitution, and Judge Chutkan picked up the refrain. It's the sort of painstaking care good judges take to protect the results in the trial court on appeal.
