Prosecutors raise Trump’s recent attacks on MilleyIn the filing, prosecutors say Trump continues to make remarks that could hurt the integrity of his trial, including in how he has recently attacked Milley.
The judge is set to consider the prosecutors’ request for a limited gag order at a hearing October 16.
They are asking for Chutkan to limit Trump’s ability to speak about witnesses and others involved in the case against him.
The prosecutors also said a limited gag order, as they propose, wouldn’t be a “contempt trap” as Trump’s team has said.
Instead, it would be an even more limited speech restriction than others granted previously in high-profile, politically charged cases in DC’s federal court, the prosecutors argued.
