Threats to those singled out by Trump were outlined Friday in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request for a “narrow” gag order against the ex-president.
A “pattern” of threats made to the “targets” of former President Donald Trump has been outlined in a federal court filing asking for a gag order against the ex-president.
Special Counsel Jack Smith asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to apply a “narrowly tailored” gag order to Trump in a motion filed on Friday. Chutkan is overseeing Trump’s case on four felony charges related to 2020 presidential election interference and the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and claims to be the victim of a “witch hunt.”
“This is nothing more than blatant election interference because President Trump is by far the leading candidate in this race,” Cheung added. “The American people—the voters—see right through this un-Constitutional charade and will send President Trump back to the White House.”
Smith’s filing argues that Trump, who continues to push claims that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him by President Joe Biden—despite the courts rejecting his voter fraud allegations more than 60 times—had “trained his focus on the election system” and associated officials in the months between his November 3, 2020, loss and the January 6 siege on the Capitol.
