U.S. prosecutors on Monday are expected to ask a judge to limit Donald Trump’s public statements about people involved in the federal case accusing him of attempting to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan plans a hearing in Washington on the bid by Special Counsel Jack Smith to bar Trump from discussing possible witnesses and disparaging prosecutors, court staff and potential jurors., including a stream of social media attacks by Trump, that prosecutors argue are undermining public confidence in the legal system and may influence potential jurors.
Trump has pleaded not guilty and accused prosecutors of attempting to interfere with his campaign. The case is one of four criminal cases federal and state prosecutors have brought against the former president this year.against Trump this month, preventing him from speaking about court staff after he lashed out at the judge’s clerk on social media.
Prosecutors said Trump’s remarks were part of the same pattern of menacing conduct he showed after the 2020 election, when his targeting of election officials and false claims of voter fraud led to threats from his supporters. Trump’s lawyers countered that there was no evidence Trump’s posts had negatively affected the case and accused prosecutors of attempting to impose sweeping restrictions on Trump’s criticism of the government.
