Trump Lawyers Fight Back Against Jack Smith Gag Order Request
Former President Donald Trump's legal team recently hit back at special counsel Jack Smith's request for a gag order to stop Donald Trump from talking about the Jan. 6 federal case against him.
Trump's team argued that the court needed to "reject this transparent gamesmanship."
They released a filing on Sept. 25, which read:
At bottom, the Proposed Gag Order is nothing more than an obvious attempt by the Biden Administration to unlawfully silence its most prominent political opponent, who has now taken a commanding lead in the polls. Indeed, this very Motion came on the heels of adverse polling for President Biden. His administration’s plan is quite simple: unleash a 45-page speaking indictment, discuss and leak its talking points in the press, and then cynically attempt to invoke the Court’s authority to prevent President Trump and those acting on his behalf from presenting his side of the story to the American people during a political campaign. This desperate effort at censorship is unconstitutional on its face.

Who do you think has the better argument in this case, Trump or Smith?
