Restrictions on Trump's Statements Outside of Court

The government has filed a motion seeking restrictions on what former President Donald Trump can say outside of court to ensure a fair trial. They argue that Trump's statements disparaging witnesses, attorneys, and court personnel could prejudice the jury pool and intimidate potential jurors. The proposed order would prohibit statements that are disparaging, inflammatory, or intimidating while still allowing quotations or references to public court records and proclamations of innocence. While Trump's defense may argue this is a gag order, the government's motion aims to balance First Amendment rights with the need for a fair trial.
