Jack Smith Seeks Gag Order Against Trump After False FBI Assassination Claims
Special counsel requests court to restrict Trump's inflammatory statements about law enforcement to protect agents' safety.
- Trump falsely claimed FBI agents were authorized to assassinate him during the Mar-a-Lago search.
- Smith's motion argues Trump's statements endanger law enforcement and mislead the public.
- Judge Aileen Cannon, overseeing the case, faces scrutiny over potential bias in her decisions.
- Legal experts suggest Smith's move could lead to an appeal if Cannon denies the gag order.
- Trump's team argues the gag order infringes on his First Amendment rights during the election campaign.
