is being, she has an application by the government. whatever the merits of it are, the application is that, you need to restrict what donald trump can say when he s talking falsely about law enforcement because the state is saying, it poses a real threat to law enforcement. the fact that the judge is not hearing that for weeks and weeks with no restrictions, is so cavalier with respect to the safety of those potential witnesses. i mean, even if you re going to rule against the government eventually. you would want to hear that quickly and not be like, oh, this is just like asking for a bill of particulars. or some something that s not of any import. the idea that you would say this is the first order of business and i want to hear from the parties is really
found guilty. donald trump s attorneys told judge marchand, now that the court is concluded, does not justified continued restrictions on the first amendment rights of president trump. prosecutor matthew coangelo told the judge in writing that the judge has quote an obligation to prevent actual harm to the integrity of the proceedings of this court and to the administration of justice. these interests have not abated. and the court has an obligation to protect the integrity of these proceedings and the fair administration of justice at least through the sentencing, hearing and the resolution of any post-trial motions. and today in florida, donald trump s favorite judge mercedez cannon. federal judge appointed by donald trump scheduled three days of hearings in the criminal case where donald trump is accused of violations
and it seems the real question is, how much protection does michael cohen get at this point? he s a public figure. how much protection does stormy daniels gets. there are other witnesses paralegals, technical witnesses who appeared in this case, appeared for the prosecution. who it seems to me should still get some protection from donald trump. and i think you re absolute little right about that lawrence. it was very clear, that judge marchand looked at people like michael cohen, stormy daniels a little bit differently. they re in the arena. they were making statements, he was carefully weighing that as the trial was going on. but you re right, this is, this trial casts a much broader net. i want to take a look back at all the legalities and look at how extraordinary it is. trump facing sentences with a real threat of imprisonment next month. his first order of business is give me latitude to attack
investigation planned and executed the search warrant at mar-a-lago. president trump has been lying and raising money on the lie that the fbi was quote authorized to shoot me. when the fbi executed a search warrant at donald trump s residence in florida. when they knew donald trump is never there and specifically was not there. the prosecutors told the judge that donald trump has been spreading quote a grossly misleading impression about the intentions and conduct of federal law enforcement agents falsely suggesting that they were complicit in a plot to assassinate him and expose those agents some of whom will be witnesses at trial to the risk of threats, violence, and harassment. in another issue to be considered in those hearings later this month, is the defense claim that prosecutors improperly pierced donald trump s attorney client
