This article explores the role of political texts in forensic linguistic analysis, focusing on their significance in legal investigations. Political texts, such as speeches, social media posts, and media reports, often shape ideologies and public discourse, but they also raise concerns about manipulation and legal compliance. Addressing the gap in understanding the linguistic and legal challenges in analyzing such texts, this study aims to examine the methods used in forensic linguistics, including authorship attribution, intent analysis, and the detection of hate speech. The findings underscore the critical role of linguistic expertise in evaluating political communication, helping to ensure adherence to legal standards and fostering responsible discourse.
