argued in a court filing Friday that there's no evidence the Republican lawmaker played a direct role in the Jan. 6 riot but has instead become a victim of the attack on the Capitol.
Free Speech for People say Greene should be disqualified from running for Congress, arguing she violated the Fourteenth Amendment by engaging in an insurrection. They further contended that Greene was not afforded traditional discovery, "to test the authenticity of their factual assertions."that appeared to show Greene telling then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows that some GOP lawmakers were saying President Donald Trump should call for martial law.The plaintiffs had asked the judge to treat the text communication as evidence that Greene was an unreliable witness in the case before the court.
Greene’s lawyers also argued in Friday's filing that only those who illegally entered the Capitol on Jan. 6 and “who engaged in illegal activities in the Capitol, could even arguably be deemed insurrectionists.”
