Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have asked a federal judge to reject Special Counsel Jack Smith's request for a gag order that would limit Trump's statements about law enforcement officers involved in the case accusing him of mishandling sensitive documents. Trump's legal team argues that the request is unconstitutional and based on vague threats to law enforcement. Additionally, they seek sanctions against the prosecutors who filed the motion. On May 27, Judge Aileen Cannon denied the special counsel's motion, citing that the prosecutors did not sufficiently confer with Trump's counsel before filing. The judge also criticized the special counsel's request as lacking in substance and professional courtesy. The case involves a search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, during which Trump claimed that President Biden and the FBI wanted to assassinate him.
