The federal judge overseeing the case against former President Trump related to the 2020 presidential election says she would accept a proposed protective order put forth by his lawyers that imposes narrower limits on the disclosure of evidence.
During the hearing, Chutkan said that Trump has a First Amendment right to free speech, but acknowledged that right"is not absolute." She said Trump is subject to the conditions of his release that were imposed at his arraignment last week, including rules preventing witness intimidation.
In a filing last week requesting the order, prosecutors said they are seeking to prevent the"improper dissemination or use" of evidence, including to the public. They pointed to a post by Trump on his social media platform — which said"If you go after me, I'm coming after you!" — as demonstrating why such a restriction is needed.
"If the defendant were to begin issuing public posts using details — or, for example, grand jury transcripts — obtained in discovery here, it could have a harmful chilling effect on witnesses or adversely affect the fair administration of justice in this case," the special counsel's teamProtective orders, which are different from gag orders, are not uncommon in criminal cases, though prosecutors told the court that limiting the information Trump and his lawyers can disclose to the...
"In a trial about First Amendment rights, the government seeks to restrict First Amendment rights," they told the court in aMonday."Worse, it does so against its administration's primary political opponent, during an election season in which the administration, prominent party members, and media allies have campaigned on the indictment and proliferated its false allegations.
They argued Trump's post about"coming after" his opponents had nothing to do with the case and"does nothing to support the [government's] Proposed Order."
