prosecutors are seeking a limited gag order on Trump because of his daily attacks on people in the case
Federal prosecutors are seeking a limited gag order for ex-President Donald Trump in the 2020 election subversion case, citing his history of "repeated, inflammatory public statements."
The former president is facing four separate criminal indictments—including two federal cases—as he campaigns for reelection to the White House in 2024. The Republican front-runner has pleaded not guilty to all charges, repeatedly accusing prosecutors and others of "election interference."
In a redacted filing released Friday, Special Counsel Jack Smith's office called on U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to enact "two narrowly tailored orders" that would restrict what Trump can say about the case ahead of trial, which is scheduled to start on March 24.
"The defendant's repeated, inflammatory public statements regarding the District of Columbia, the Court, prosecutors, and potential witnesses are substantially likely to materially prejudice the jury pool, create fear among potential jurors, and result in threats or harassment to individuals he singles out," read the court document.
