In a recent court hearing, prosecutor David Harbach strongly argued against the protection of Trump's comments under the First Amendment, deeming them as inappropriate and beyond acceptable boundaries. Harbach emphasized that such speech should not be shielded by constitutional rights.
Judge Aileen Cannon weighed in on the matter, pointing out that the statute referenced by prosecutors for a potential gag order still necessitates a connection between the speech and any potential risks posed to others. Cannon highlighted the importance of establishing a factual link between the comments made by Trump and any potential threats that may arise.
Harbach emphasized the need for limitations to ensure the safety of agents involved in the case, stating that while Trump is entitled to campaign, there should be boundaries in place to prevent the dissemination of harmful statements. He expressed disapproval of Trump's email and posts, emphasizing that certain remarks should not be made without consequences.
Despite the arguments presented, Judge Cannon refrained from issuing a ruling at the conclusion of the hearing, leaving the matter unresolved for the time being.
