Jack Smith requested Trump be barred from talking about the law enforcement agents who searched his home.
Friday, Smith requested Trump be barred from talking about the law enforcement agents who searched his home, for their safety. Cannon said Smith’s request was “wholly lacking in substance and professional courtesy,” due to the timing of the request.
“Because the filing of the Special Counsel’s motion did not adhere to these basic requirements, it is due to be denied without prejudice,” Cannon said. Trump’s legal team filed Monday, requesting Smith be sanctioned for his Friday evening request. They said the motion was filed Friday evening at 5:30 p.m. ahead of the Memorial Day weekend holiday, to which Trump’s team responded within 10 minutes.
