Prosecutors have asked Judge Tanya Chutkan to order Trump to stop attacking potential witnesses.
Trump has spent the days since prosecutors’ gag order proposal went public assailing special counsel Jack Smith for making the request. | Artie Walker Jr./AP PhotoDonald Trump’s lawyers said Monday that a gag order proposed by prosecutors would unconstitutionally silence him during key months of the 2024 presidential campaign, urging a federal judge in Washington, D.C. to reject the proposed limits.
Prosecutors want Chutkan to order Trump to refrain from further attacks or risk punishment. They are expected to reply to Trump’s filing later this week. Prosecutors have previously cited Trump’s attacks on Pence, as well as more generalized, ominous comments, as evidence of the need for a gag order. They also noted that historically, Trump’s attacks have caused threats and harassment toward potential witnesses against him.
“This is entirely unsurprising as President Trump has never called for any improper or unlawful action,” they wrote.
