LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A federal judge has rejected President Donald
Trump's free speech defense against a lawsuit accusing him of inciting
violence against protesters at a campaign rally.
Trump's lawyers sought to dismiss the lawsuit
by three protesters who say they were roughed up by his supporters at a
March 1, 2016 rally in Louisville, Kentucky. They argued that Trump
didn't intend for his supporters to use force.
Two women and a man say they were shoved and
punched by audience members at Trump's command. Much of it was captured
on video and widely broadcast during the campaign, showing Trump
pointing at the protesters and repeating "get them out."
