Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Washington Post
Federal prosecutors suggest that former President Donald Trump may have violated the conditions of his release by purchasing a gun during a campaign stop in South Carolina, which could be discussed at an upcoming hearing on a potential gag order. In a separate civil case in New York City, a fraud trial against Trump and his company is set to begin, with the New York Attorney General alleging that the Trump Organization inflated property values to defraud lenders and insurance companies. Meanwhile, Trump faces various charges in Georgia, Washington D.C., Florida, and New York, with ongoing legal battles and trial dates being scheduled.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Washington Post
Prosecutors are seeking a limited gag order on former President Donald Trump to restrict his comments about the criminal cases against him, citing concerns about prejudicing potential jurors and intimidating witnesses. In other developments, a former Justice Department official is trying to move his charges to federal court in Georgia, a civil lawsuit alleging accounting misdeeds by Trump's business is set to begin in New York, and rules have been issued for Trump and his defense attorneys to review classified evidence in a federal case in Florida. The trial dates for these cases range from March to May, with the possibility of delays. Legal scholars are debating whether states can invoke the 14th Amendment to keep Trump off the 2024 ballot, but the Justice Department has not made this argument in the D.C. case related to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
