While Trump's attorneys acknowledged that some court documents should be shielded from the public, they noted that 'the need to protect that information does not require a blanket gag order over all documents produced by the government.'
WASHINGTON -Donald Trump's lawyers urged a federal judge on Monday to reject a protective order sought by prosecutors ahead of the former U.S. president's 2020 election trial, saying it would violate his free speech rights under the Constitution.
Trump's attorneys, in a 29-page filing to U.S. District Court in Washington on Monday, did not directly address the assertion of potential witness intimidation. "In a trial about First Amendment rights, the government seeks to restrict First Amendment rights," Trump's attorneys said, referring to the right of free speech guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
At his arraignment on Thursday, Trump swore to not intimidate witnesses or communicate with them about the case without legal counsel present.Prosecutors on Friday, in their request for a protective order from Chutkan, pointed to a post from Trump on his Truth Social site that said, "IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I'M COMING AFTER YOU!"
A Trump spokesperson on Saturday denied that the Friday post was related to the trial, saying instead that Trump was attacking people dubbed "Republicans in Name Only," or RINOs.
