In a court filing on Friday, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team argued that recent comments made by former President Donald Trump about now-former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley and other public officials further support their argument that Trump should be restricted in his remarks about the federal election interference case.
The filing, which is 22 pages long, alleges that Trump has waged a “sustained campaign of prejudicial public statements” about witnesses, the court, the district, and prosecutors in the case.
Specifically, the filing cites Trump’s interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” earlier this month, in which he made “prejudicial statements” about Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, both of whom are witnesses in the indictment against Trump.
The filing also refers to several posts that appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account this month, including one in which he suggested that Milley would have been executed in the past for his “treasonous” conduct during the period after the 2020 election when Trump attempted to stay in power.
The filing comes after Smith’s office asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan for a “narrowly tailored order” that would bar Trump from making certain extrajudicial statements about the case. Prosecutors argue that this would prevent Trump from making public remarks that could influence the outcome of the trial or prejudice jury selection.
Prosecutors say that Trump’s recent remarks only reinforce the need for a targeted gag order.
