The second hearing of the day in Fort Pierce, Florida, is scheduled to commence at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. The focus of this hearing will be the discussion surrounding a potential gag order for the former president.
During the morning session, Donald Trump’s attorney, Emil Bove, provided a glimpse into the arguments that will be presented. Bove expressed his concerns about the proposed gag order, describing it as a 'truly extraordinary' attempt to restrict Trump's ability to speak freely during debates and on the campaign trail.
The upcoming debate between Trump and President Joe Biden is set to take place on Thursday. The Justice Department has clarified that political motives are not driving their request for a gag order.
Bove also raised questions regarding whether Attorney General Merrick Garland had authorized the request for the gag order. This inquiry adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings.
