Special counsel Jack Smith had requested the order, saying that Trump’s barrage of social media and campaign trail claims may intimidate witnesses.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan granted special counsel Jack Smith's request Monday for a limited gag order to prevent former President Trump from attacking prosecutors, witnesses and court officials involved in his federal case over attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
'What you have put in place is working,' Lauro said. Chutkan laughed in response. 'I have to take issue with that.' Lauro said that prosecutors haven’t shown that any witness has been intimidated. Chutkan noted that Smith has presented evidence of the effect of Trump statements on witnesses in other matters. Most recently Trump suggested that former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley deserves to be put to death.
