In the classified documents case, Donald Trump’s lawyers are fighting special counsel Jack Smith’s attempt to modify the defendant’s release conditions — or, to impose a “gag order,” as the defense puts it. There’s reason to think that U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon will agree with Trump, though we might not know the answer for a while.
” More specifically, the former president’s lawyers wrote that the special counsel has “not submitted to the Court any evidence of threats or harassment resulting from President Trump’s protected speech.” “Not a single FBI agent who participated in the raid submitted an affidavit, or even an argument, claiming that President Trump’s remarks put them at risk,” they added. Cannon may agree that that lack of specificity is a problem against the backdrop of a First Amendment argument.
