Donald Trump may be ordered to limit his comments about the federal criminal election conspiracy charges he is facing, as a federal judge on Monday weighed restrictions on what he can say about the case.
Prosecutors are seeking an order which they say will balance Trump’s “free speech right with the court’s responsibility to ensure a fair trial free from outside influence.”
Trump was not present for the hearing, but one of his staunchest supporters, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), was spotted in the courthouse beforehand. She wrote that she was there “as a member of the Oversight Committee to see if Judge Chutkan is really going to destroy the 1st amendment – free speech rights of former President Trump.”
Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team cited, among other things, Trump’s social media posts, including attacks on U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan. Trump also has repeatedly called Smith “deranged,” and his office cited a report calling a prosecutor “really corrupt!” He also has attacked former Vice President Mike Pence and other witnesses including former Attorney General William Barr and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Smith’s office also pointed to a Trump Truth Social post that Gen. Mark Milley, who recently retired as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, committed treason, with the suggestion that he should be tried for treason and executed.
In advance of the hearing, Trump went off on Truth Social, again attacking Smith and Chutkan and writing, “These political Hacks and Thugs are destroying our Country.”
Trump’s legal team wrote in a filing that the witnesses in the case embrace limelight and, essentially, invite the attacks from the former president. In response to the government’s request
