Judge Aileen Cannon Skeptical of Gag Order on Trump in Classified Docs Case Involving FBI Agents
Jun 25, 2024, 10:29 AM
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon presided over a hearing on June 24 regarding the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump. Prosecutors, led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, requested a gag order to prevent Trump from making inflammatory statements about FBI agents involved in the case, arguing that his comments could pose a significant danger to law enforcement. Trump's legal team opposed the gag order, claiming it would stifle his ability to speak publicly. During the hearing, Judge Cannon expressed skepticism about the need for a gag order and questioned the appropriateness of modifying Trump's conditions of release, suggesting that redactions might suffice. She also admonished prosecutor David Harbach for his tone during the proceedings.
