Trump's Attorney Criticizes Prosecutors Over Conditions Of Release

Former U.S. President Trump departs Trump Tower in New York

Former President Donald Trump's attorney has raised concerns over prosecutors attempting to modify his conditions of release, stating that such actions could establish a dangerous precedent. Defense attorney Todd Blanche argued that the prosecutors' vague definition of what constitutes a threat could make it challenging for Trump to comply with any potential new rules.

Blanche highlighted the example of Steve Bannon's comments potentially leading to legal repercussions for Trump, emphasizing the need for clarity in determining what speech could result in jail time.

He acknowledged that people do listen to Trump but asserted that this should not restrict the former president from engaging in constitutionally protected political speech.
