Trump seeks to deny prosecutors' gag-order motion in documents case
SUMMARY
Lawyers for Donald Trump have asked a federal judge to reject prosecutors' request for a gag order limiting his comments about law enforcement officers involved in his sensitive documents case. Trump's team also seeks sanctions against government attorneys for filing the motion. Prosecutors have charged Trump with 40 counts of illegally retaining national security documents. They requested the gag order due to Trump's "intentionally false and inflammatory statements" about the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago. Trump's lawyers argue that the request limits his free speech rights. There is no indication when Judge Aileen Cannon will rule on the motions.
