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.
