President Donald Trump is fighting a request from Jack Smith, an attorney for accused Jan. 6 rioters, for a more narrow gag order in the case. Trump’s legal team argued that the requested gag order was overly broad and that it would violate the defendants’ First Amendment rights. Smith had requested a less comprehensive order, but the judge presiding over the case has yet to rule on the motion. Trump’s lawyers argued that any gag order should be limited in scope and must be narrowly tailored to avoid infringing upon the defendants’ free speech rights. Trump’s legal team also argued that Smith had failed to show that a more narrow gag order was necessary to prevent prejudice against his client. If the judge were to approve the motion, a retrial could be called for if the prosecution argued that the outcome of the trial was affected by improper statements made by the defense.
