    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Special counsel’s office prosecutors on Friday asked a federal judge in Florida to place a gag order on Donald Trump that would limit his ability to comment about law enforcement that searched his Mar-a-Lago resort.

    The request – a first in the classified documents mishandling case – comes after the former president has repeatedly and misleadingly criticized the FBI for having a policy in place around the use of deadly force during the search and seizure of government records at his resort in August 2022.

    The request will force Cannon into the center of an intensely charged and politicized battle, grappling with Trump’s ongoing presidential campaign and the First Amendment at the same time prosecutors are escalating their concerns to her about proceedings she oversees.

    “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,” prosecutors wrote.

    Previously, prosecutors on Trump’s classified documents case successfully fought for the judge to keep names of FBI agents who worked on the Mar-a-Lago search blacked out in recent court filings, because of fears of threats and harassment.

    The FBI and Justice Department have dealt with a substantial number of threats since the search of Mar-a-Lago nearly two years ago, particularly after times Trump amplified false information about the federal law enforcement approach.

      He needs to be locked in solitary until this is over. He just cannot keep his mouth shut and his fanatical supporters lap all this crap up. There are a lot of countries (that he supports) that would have windowed him by now.
