Federal Judge Rejects Partial Gag Order Against Trump In Classified Documents Case; Prosecutors Warned Of His Effort To “Smear” Law Enforcement
The former president has stated that the FBI was "locked & loaded ready to take me out"
Special Counsel Jack Smith is asking a federal judge to issue a partial gag order restricting Donald Trump from falsely claiming that FBI agents who searched his Mar-A-Lago estate in 2022 were part of a plot to assassinate him. Smith’s team argued that “these deceptive and inflammatory claims expose the law enforcement professionals who are involved in this case to unjustified and unacceptable risks: they invite the sort of threats and harassment that have occurred when other participants in legal proceedings against Trump have been targeted by his invective. The prosecutors want Cannon to “impose a condition that Trump may not make public statements that pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to the law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case.”
