NCLA Amicus Brief in NY Case Against Trump Explains Why NY’s Executive Law Violates Free Speech

Administrative Static Podcast

NCLA, with its founder Professor Philip Hamburger, has filed a crucial amicus curiae brief in the case of New York v. Donald Trump. They are challenging a New York law used by Attorney General Letitia James to prosecute Trump for alleged fraud. Unlike typical fraud cases, New York Executive Law § 63.12 allows for penalties simply for making incorrect business statements, without needing to prove intent or harm.

NCLA argues that this law infringes on First Amendment rights and is urging the court to overturn it to safeguard free speech for everyone. In this episode, Mark, Vec, and Senior Litigation Counsel Greg Dolin discuss the case and its broader implications.
