The First Amendment’s “guarantee of freedom of speech protects government employees from termination because of their speech on matters of public concern.” Id. at 675, 116 S.Ct. at 2347,135 L.Ed.2d at 852. Speech may be protected as involving a matter of public concern if it attempts to reveal actual or potential unlawful conduct or a breach of the public trust on the part of a government official. Baldassare v. New Jersey, 250 F.3d 188,195 (3d Cir.2001). Here, defendants concede for purposes of the motion that plaintiffs speech — his report of the extortion attempt and his testimony at Caruso’s trial that implicated Mayor Milan — is protected as a matter of public concern. See id. at 194-95 (<HOLDING>). That said, while we agree that plaintiff
