In a significant development in the legal proceedings surrounding former President Trump's Georgia election interference case, Judge Scott McAfee is moving forward with a series of pretrial motions. This comes after several weeks of delay caused by a scandal in the Fulton County prosecuting office.

On Thursday, Judge McAfee will hear arguments from Trump's counsel. It is expected that the counsel will assert that the charges in the Georgia election case should be dismissed under the First Amendment, as they allegedly target Trump's core political speech. This argument could have far-reaching implications for the case.

Furthermore, the judge is also set to hear arguments on two pretrial motions from co-defendant David Shafer. These motions assert that Shafer, former Georgia Republican Party chair, acted within the boundaries of the law when he declared himself a "duly elected" state elector and signed documents purporting that Trump had won the state's 2020 presidential election.

The arguments are scheduled to take place on Thursday at 10 a.m. EDT. It is an important milestone in the ongoing legal battle surrounding the allegations of election interference in Georgia. The proceedings will be available for live viewing via the provided video link.

The legal outcome of these pretrial motions could significantly impact the direction and potential resolution of the case. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
