Trump prosecutors to push for limited gag order Monday afternoon, Fox’s Jeff Paul reports
Former President Donald Trump's defense team will seek a limited gag order after Trump made comments that FBI agents were out to kill him and his family during their search of Mar a Lago in 2022, Fox News' Jeff Paul reported.
In a fundraiser email, Trump said the FBI was "locked and loaded ready to take me out and put my family in danger."
Special Counsel Jack Smith's legal team said the statement is false and endangers the lives of law enforcement, Paul reported.
"The judges basically have to draw a line and is not an easy line to draw, but they have to balance the need to protect the integrity of the proceedings and at the same time not violating the First Amendment rights of a former President and others," former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Tom Dupree said Monday morning on America's Newsroom. "It's not an easy task for a judge to do."
There could be a decision as early as today on the motion, which may result in an additional written gag order released by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in the coming days.
