Donald Trump hit out against a protective order issued by the DOJ late Friday night, accusing prosecutors of unfairly restricting his right to “political speech.” The DOJ issued a court filing at about 10 p.m., calling attention to a Truth Social post.
The DOJ issued a court filing at about 10 p.m. on Friday, calling attention to a message Trump posted on his Truth Social account that prosecutors say raises concerns the former president may improperly share details about his latest criminal proceedings. Trump slammed those efforts, arguing the social media post fell under his First Amendment rights to share his opinion online.
In the filing, prosecutors urged U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to issue an order prohibiting any findings related to the case be kept from public view.
