"U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has denied a request by lawyers for Donald Trump to dismiss Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment that alleges the former president sought to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election.
“Defendant’s four-year service as Commander in Chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens,” Chutkan wrote in the ruling.
'It is well established that the First Amendment does not protect speech that is used as an instrument of a crime.'
The ruling is a blow to Trump’s efforts to avoid prosecution in the federal election interference case, which is set to go to trial in March."

The Lowry suprenmes are likely to side with the American's Wannabe Fuhrer.
