Washington Post Backs Jonathan Turley in Slamming Jack Smith's Handling of Free Speech Case

The Washington Post has acknowledged that Jack Smith, the special counsel investigating former President Donald Trump, was incorrect in his claims about free speech and the First Amendment protections afforded to public figures. This admission comes after years of debate over whether Trump's January 6th speech was protected under the amendment. Experts had argued that any prosecution for Trump would be invalid due to governing precedent. The Post's recognition of Smith's mistake marks a significant shift in the narrative surrounding the case.
