Former President Donald Trump맥스카지노�s attorneys argued in a court filing Monday that a gag order requested by special counsel Jack Smith in the federal 2020 election interference case is unconstitutional, overly broad and an effort to censor the former president during the 2024 presidential race.맥스카지노�The Proposed Gag Order is nothing more than an obvious attempt by the Biden Administration to unlawfully silence its most prominent political opponent,맥스카지노� Trump맥스카지노�s attorneys said in the response.Trump is asking U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to deny the prosecutor맥스카지노�s request for a gag order entirely, requesting a hearing on the matter. Chutkan, an Obama appointee overseeing the criminal case in Washington, D.C., hasn맥스카지노�t yet made a decision on the request for a gag order.Justice Department prosecutors previously said a limited gag order on the former president is needed to protect the integrity of the trial in March. The prosecutor맥스카지노�s argument for a gag order pointed to false public statements Trump previously made around the 2020 election 맥스카지노�to erode public faith in the administration of the election and intimidate individuals who refuted his lies.맥스카지노�The federal election interference investigation is one of four criminal cases against the former president. Trump is facing four charges in this case, including obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the United States.Prosecutors previously asked Chutkan to reel in Trump맥스카지노�s public statements and posts on social media and specifically asked the judge to limit Trump맥스카지노�s ability to speak about 맥스카지노�the identity, testimony, or credibility of prospective witnesses맥스카지노� and 맥스카지노�statements about any party, witness, attorney, court personnel, or potential jurors that are disparaging and inflammatory, or intimidating.맥스카지노�Trump has already been ordered not to intimidate potential witnesses or talk to them about the facts of the case.맥스카지노�The prosecution may not like President맥스카지노�s Trump맥스카지노�s entirely valid criticisms, but neither it nor this Court are the filter for what the public may hear,맥스카지노� Trump맥스카지노�s attorneys wrote in the Monday night filing. 맥스카지노�Let맥스카지노�s be clear: the prosecution hopes to create a contempt trap for President Trump and his attorneys.맥스카지노�Trump맥스카지노�s attorneys wrote in the filing that he has not intimidated anyone and that 맥스카지노�it is absurd to suggest the prosecution and the Court are 맥스카지노�intimidated맥스카지노� by critical social media posts.맥스카지노�Trump has used social media to take aim at special counsel Jack Smith and Chuktan. Prosecutors also cited his criticism of former Vice President Mike Pence and former Attorney General Bill Barr 맥스카지노� both of whom could be called as witnesses in the trial next year.Trump맥스카지노�s legal team also responded to prosecutors request for a court order that would block them from polling potential jurors for the case without the court맥스카지노�s approval first. Defense attorneys can poll residents who could make up the jury pool in their case with general questions around the issues of the case. Those findings can be used to argue for a change of venue.
