Special Counsel Asks Judge To Make Trump Shut Up About The Jan. 6 Coup Attempt Case

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON — Special counsel Jack Smith is asking the federal judge presiding over Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 case to stop the former president from making inflammatory statements that he said are endangering witnesses and will make finding a fair jury difficult. “The defendant has repeatedly and widely disseminated public statements attacking the citizens of the District of Columbia, the court, prosecutors, and prospective witnesses,” Smith wrote in a Friday filing to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan. “As he acknowledged in a televised town hall on May 10, 2023, his supporters listen to him ‘like no one else.’” Special counsel Jack Smith, pictured here, wrote in a filing to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan that Donald Trump "has spread disparaging and inflammatory public posts on Truth Social on a near-daily basis." “Put simply, those involved in the criminal justice process who read and hear the defendant’s disparaging and inflammatory messages may reasonably fear that they could be the next targets of the defendant’s attacks,” Smith wrote. “The government seeks a narrow, well-defined restriction that is targeted at extrajudicial statements that present a serious and substantial danger of materially prejudicing this case,” Smith wrote, adding that he would also like Chutkan to monitor Trump’s attempts to poll the District of Columbia because such a survey could actually be designed to sway public opinion in favor of Trump ahead of a trial.
