Federal prosecutors are seeking a “narrowly tailored” gag order against former President Donald Trump in the case involving his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, according to reports.

Prosecutors explained in a 19-page court filing released today that they are requesting the gag order because of the former president’s “near-daily” social-media attacks on those involved in the case, including Judge Tanya Chutkan and special counsel Jack Smith.

“Since the indictment in this case, the defendant has spread disparaging and inflammatory public posts on Truth Social on a near-daily basis regarding the citizens of the District of Columbia, the court, prosecutors and prospective witnesses,” prosecutors wrote.

“Like his previous public disinformation campaign regarding the 2020 presidential election,” the prosecutors added, “the defendant’s recent extrajudicial statements are intended to undermine public confidence in an institution — the judicial system — and to undermine confidence in and intimidate individuals — the court, the jury pool, witnesses and prosecutors.”
