Federal prosecutors urge judge to reinstate Trump gag order, citing comments about ex-chief of staff

Federal prosecutors urge judge to reinstate Trump gag order, citing comments about ex-chief of staff
CLOSER LOOK AT SOME OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT바카라 게임 웹사이트S CLAIMS. MONICA MARISSA, OUR TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE POLITIFACT GROUP TO GO THROUGH AND FACT CHECK ALL THE DIFFERENT CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. AND AFTER THE RALLY YESTERDAY, WE LOOKED INTO ONE CLAIM PRESIDENT TRUMP MADE ABOUT HIS RECENT FEDERAL INDICTMENT. LISTEN IN. THINK OF IT. WE CHALLENGE THE ELECTION. EVERY DEMOCRAT CHALLENGED THE 2016 ELECTION. WE CHALLENGED THE ELECTION. AND THEY INDICT YOU FOR THAT. ALL RIGHT. SO LET바카라 게임 웹사이트S BREAK THIS DOWN. POLITIFACT SAYS BACK IN AUGUST, THEY GAVE A SIMILAR STATEMENT MADE BY TRUMP A FALSE RATING. HE ORIGINALLY MADE THAT CLAIM ONE DAY AFTER HE WAS ARRAIGNED IN A WASHINGTON, D.C. COURTHOUSE. ACCORDING TO A FEDERAL INDICTMENT, TRUMP TOOK ILLEGAL ACTIONS TO UNDERMINE THE ELECTION RESULTS BACK IN 2020. POLITIFACT REPORTS THAT THE INDICTMENT LAYS OUT JUST HOW TRUMP ALLEGEDLY DID THAT. THAT INCLUDES TAKING ACTIONS LIKE CALLING GEORGIA바카라 게임 웹사이트S SECRETARY OF STATE AND ASKING HIM TO FIND MORE VOTES. AND BY PUSHING VICE PRESIDENT PENCE TO CHANGE THE ELECTION RESULTS ON JANUARY SIXTH. SO THE INDICTMENT DID NOT CHARGE TRUMP FOR HIS WORDS, CHALLENGING THE ELECTION. IN FACT, THE INDICTMENT BASICALLY DEBUNKS THIS ARGUMENT BY TRUMP BECAUSE IT SAYS, QUOTE, THAT TRUMP HAD A RIGHT LIKE EVERY AMERICAN, TO SPEAK PUBLICLY ABOUT THE ELECTION, END QUOTE. AND CHALLENGE THE RESULTS THROUGH LAWFUL AND APPROPRIATE MEANS. THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트S NOT WHAT TRUMP DID HERE. AND AGAIN, OUR TEAM WILL BE FACT CHECKING EVERY MAJOR CANDIDATE FROM

Federal prosecutors urge judge to reinstate Trump gag order, citing comments about ex-chief of staff
Federal prosecutors are urging a judge to reinstate a gag order on Donald Trump, citing recent social media posts about the former president's chief of staff that they said represented an attempt to influence and intimidate a foreseeable witness in the case.U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over the federal case charging Trump with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, last week temporarily paused her order barring Trump from making inflammatory comments about prosecutors, court staff and potential witnesses. The ruling came as Trump's lawyers challenge the limited gag order in higher courts.In a motion filed Wednesday night, special counsel Jack Smith's team encouraged Chutkan to put the restrictions back in place. Prosecutors cited in part statements in social media and at a news conference over the last day by Trump about his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, who was reported by ABC 온라인 바카라 게임 on Tuesday to have testified before a grand jury after receiving immunity from prosecution.The former president mused on social media about the possibility that Meadows, a close ally in the White House who was charged alongside Trump in a separate state prosecution in Georgia related to efforts to undo the election, would give testimony to Smith in exchange for immunity. One part of the post said: 바카라 게임 웹사이트Some people would make that deal, but they are weaklings and cowards, and so bad for the future our Failing Nation. I don't think that Mark Meadows is one of them but who really knows?"In their motion, Smith's team cited the post about Meadows as an example of the type of commentary that the original gag order was meant to prohibit and a reason why the restrictions should be reinstated.Trump, prosecutors wrote, has 바카라 게임 웹사이트capitalized on the Court바카라 게임 웹사이트s administrative stay to, among other prejudicial conduct, send an unmistakable and threatening message to a foreseeable witness in this case.바카라 게임 웹사이트They added: 바카라 게임 웹사이트Unless the Court lifts the administrative stay, the defendant will not stop his harmful and prejudicial attacks.
