Special Counsel Requests Gag Order on Trump Over Election Case Harassment

TL;DR Summary
Federal prosecutors have requested a gag order on former President Donald Trump in his federal indictment case, citing his frequent social media attacks on individuals involved in the case. They argue that Trump's statements could intimidate witnesses, influence potential jurors, and undermine public confidence in the judicial system. The gag order would restrict Trump from making any disparaging or inflammatory remarks about witnesses or anyone involved in the proceedings. The request is expected to spark a debate over Trump's First Amendment rights, especially considering his status as a front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination.
