Former President Donald Trump’s legal team said they oppose a request from the special counsel’s office to place a gag order in the federal election case against the former commander in chief.
On Monday, his attorneys made a 25-page filing (pdf) that argued President Trump’s criticism against special counsel Jack Smith, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, and others are covered under the Constitution’s First Amendment. His public comments, they contended, are not actual threats or incitement of attacks.
