Jack Smith Files Motion in Trump’s Classified Documents Case

Amid Donald Trump’s classified documents case in Florida, DOJ special counsel Jack Smith filed a blunt motion to Judge Aileen Cannon, urging a gag order on Trump due to a new threat from a Trump supporter against an FBI agent. Trump faces 40 federal charges for allegedly retaining classified documents and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them. Despite Trump’s claims of political bias, Smith argued that Trump’s actions pose an imminent threat to law enforcement and the integrity of the proceedings. MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner discussed the motion, questioning the effectiveness of gag orders given Trump’s history of violating them. Cannon held a hearing on the motion, expressing skepticism about arguments from both sides.
