Deep dives
Key Development in the Jack Smith Coup Trial
A new filing by Jack Smith's office asks the judge for a narrow order on what Donald Trump as a defendant is allowed to say. The filing cites the threats that Trump has already made and the statements interpreted as threats against witnesses and law enforcement. The order would seek to bar Trump from making public statements about potential witnesses, their identity, testimony, credibility, and also prevent him from making disparaging or intimidating statements about any party involved.
