U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith is seeking limits on former President Donald Trump's statements regarding a court case over his attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.

The request aims to protect potential jurors from fear of threats and harassment stemming from Trump's public statements.

Trump's statements could be used against him by state and federal prosecutors investigating him for various charges, including hush-money payments, election interference, and the Jan. 6 insurrection. His comments could also reveal his defense strategy and make it harder for his lawyers to present a coherent narrative. Trump's penchant for public statements was also on display during the last special counsel investigation he faced.

Donald Trump's habit of making public statements about his legal troubles is drawing attention from prosecutors and legal experts, who warn that his comments could be used against him in ongoing investigations. Trump's recent statements, including claims that he had the right to take classified documents and that a Georgia elections official "owed him" votes, could be seen as incriminating or complicate his legal team's ability to defend him. Legal scholars note that prosecutors may not be able to use all of Trump's comments if they are not relevant to the charges, but his public statements could still harm his defense strategy and make it difficult for him to testify.
