(Politics): Criminal Intent, Free Speech emerge as Key Issues in Trump's January 6 Indictment


Former President Donald Trump's early legal defense is coming into focus after he was hit with another federal indictment, this time in connection to his efforts to remain in power after his 2020 election loss.

Trump faces four felony charges, among them conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and obstruction of an official proceeding, in the Jannuary 6, 2021 case brought by special counsel Jack Smith. The former president has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty.

Emerging as key issues in the case are intent and free speech.

Trump's lawyers have asserted Trump has always believed the 2020 election was stolen and had a First Amendment right to say so.
