Judge Aileen Cannon indicated on Monday that she is hesitant to impose a gag order on former President Donald Trump without further evidence. She made it clear that a ruling would not be made that day on the prosecutors' request for a gag order on Trump. The judge set a deadline for Wednesday for prosecutors to decide whether they will provide additional evidence to support their request.
Prosecutor David Harbach stated that the Justice Department will inform the court by tomorrow regarding their decision. Judge Cannon emphasized the importance of giving both sides ample opportunity to respond whenever new evidence related to gag orders, threats, and actions taken by other courts is introduced in the Florida documents case.
This ongoing situation underscores Judge Cannon's approach of allowing for more arguments and information to be presented in the case, often delaying decisions for several weeks.
