Internet labels Donald Trump 'insane' over bid to dismiss gag order in classified documents case
FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA: The legal team of Donald Trump filed a new request in court on Monday, May 27, asking a federal judge to dismiss a gag order that stops him from making comments about the law enforcement officials who raided his Mar-a-Lago property in 2022 as part of a sensitive documents case.
The lawyers have also sought penalties for “all government attorneys who participated in the decision to file the Motion,” as reported by CNN.
Trump’s team calls gag order request ‘unconstitutional censorship application’
Filing the request before the US District Judge Aileen Cannon, the ex-leader attorneys called the gag order request, filed by special counsel Jack Smith's office, an “extraordinary, unprecedented, and unconstitutional censorship application.”
The filing also noted that the special counsel “improperly asks the Court to impose an unconstitutional gag order on President Trump, based on vague and unsupported assertions about threats to law enforcement personnel whose names have been redacted from public filings and whose identities are already subject to a protective order.”
The request accused the prosecutors of “seeking to condition President Trump’s liberty on his compliance.”
Special counsel’s office prosecutors blamed Trump for ‘endangering’ officers’ lives
The action was taken by Trump’s legal time after on Friday, May 24, Smith's office prosecutors filed the request for the gag order on Trump.
Their motion reportedly said, “Trump‘s repeated mischaracterization as an attempt to kill him, his family, and Secret Service agents has endangered law enforcement officers involved in the investigation and prosecution of this case and threatened the integrity of these proceedings.”
They also asserted that the 77-year-old Republican’s statements made against the law enforcement officers “invite the sort of threats and harassment that have occurred when other participants in legal proceedings against Trump have been targeted by his invective.”
Netizens think Donald Trump is ‘insane’
Meanwhile, people have criticized Trump with one Facebook user saying, “I sense a lot of desperation here.”
Another Facebook user wrote, “Threatening & Intimidating witnesses & court staff is NOT freedom of speech. It’s illegal & wrong & Trump shouldn’t be allowed to do it. Any other criminal defendant would be jailed for this. Full Stop.”
A third one commented, “Trump is insane and should be in a mental hospital.”
A fourth one remarked, “Trump is a lot of things, but he is not innocent.”
“The republican meltdown will be epic once again,” a fifth one stated.
A comment read, “He's going to prison for real soon. He can't keep running away forever.”
"Seriously…….lawyers for Trump are okay with Trump attacking law enforcement," another user added.
