Special counsel Jack Smith wants the judge in Trump's 2020 election case to limit what he can say publicly about the case. Smith accuses him of making 'inflammatory public statements' to influence jurors.
By Stefan Becket— Special counsel Jack Smith has asked the judge overseeing the case against Donald Trump for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election to limit what the former president can say publicly about the case, accusing him of making"inflammatory public statements" aimed at influencing potential jurors and intimidating witnesses.on Friday, Smith and his prosecutors list a litany of posts by Trump on his Truth Social platform since his indictment in the case in August.
The government lawyers asked Judge Tanya Chutkan to impose a"narrowly tailored" order that would bar Trump from making"extrajudicial statements that present a serious and substantial danger of materially prejudicing this case." "The defendant's repeated posts that he cannot receive a fair trial from this Court or from a jury of his peers in this District are substantially likely to undermine confidence in the justice system, affect the jury pool, or otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice," prosecutors wrote."His misleading statements regarding the Special Counsel's Office and its investigation are designed to do the same.
Trump was indicted by a federal grand jury on four charges related to his alleged attempts to reverse the 2020 election results and has pleaded not guilty.
