John Lauro, attorney for former President Donald Trump, said that the First Amendment is “under assault” after his client was indicted on four felony charges in connection with his efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election.
“He’s being indicted for free speech. He’s being indicted for objecting to the way that the 2020 election was carried out. And any American that takes that view should be equally concerned—are they next? Because the reality is that, if a president can be indicted for free speech, then anybody can be indicted,” Mr. Lauro told Fox News host Bret Baier on Aug. 1.
