Prosecutors Argue For Limiting Trump's Speech In Court Case

Donald Trump to testify in New York civil fraud trial

During the gag order hearing for the classified documents case involving Donald Trump, prosecutors are arguing that changing Trump's release conditions to limit his speech about law enforcement would be constitutional. Prosecutor David Harbach emphasized to Judge Aileen Cannon that ensuring the safety of the community is paramount and overrides First Amendment concerns.

Harbach highlighted the potential threats, harassment, and attacks on officials by Trump supporters as a reason to consider limiting Trump's speech. He argued that curtailing Trump's speech could help prevent such actions and protect the community.
