Prosecutors attempt to silence Trump due to ‘implied’ warning
(MENAFN) The United States Department of Justice has advised a federal judge to release a defensive rule against previous Leader, Donald Trump, looking to stop him from revealing “sensitive” specifics regarding his criminal case associated to the 2020 leadership election.
Prosecutors demanded the rule from United States District Court Judge, Tanya Chutkan, on Friday, saying it is “particularly important” given that trump has formerly made social media posts regarding “witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him.”
“If the defendant were to begin issuing public posts using details – or, for example, grand jury transcripts – obtained in discovery here, it could have a harmful chilling effect on witnesses or adversely affect the fair administration of justice in this case,” the DOJ stated in a law court filing.
Merely hours before prosecutors’ appeal to Judge Chutkan, Trump posted an all-caps column on his Truth Social page cautioning “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” Though the previous leader did not explain what he intended, the Justice Department claimed that he was mentioning his election meddling case “either specifically or by implication.”
