Former President Donald Trump and other co-defendants in the Fulton County, Georgia, case filed a notice that they will appeal a judge’s order that rejected their arguments to dismiss the case on First Amendment grounds.

Court papers filed Monday on behalf of President Trump and his co-defendants asked the Fulton County Superior Court to conduct an “immediate review” of their motions to dismiss the case on First Amendment grounds. They argued that the indictments handed down by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office last year violate their First Amendment right to freedom of speech.
