Former President Donald Trump’s attorneys responded to special counsel Jack Smith’s gag order request in his classified documents case by asking a federal judge to reject the prosecutors’ claims.
The attorneys wrote in a June 14 court filing to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon that the gag order request in the Florida case is a “shocking display of overreach” and is “unconstitutional,” adding that prosecutors haven’t submitted evidence of alleged threats or harassment that resulted from the 45th president’s comments on the case.
