Im pamela brown in for abby. The feds are asking for a gag order on donald trump and the former president is daring the judge to give him one. The Special Counsels team wants to make restrictions on what trump can say about the election interference case, accusing him of telling lies, and threatening prosecutors. It is a pretty extraordinary move given the circumstances of trump being a president ial candidate, and trump for his part wasted no time firing back. He called jack smith deranged. Just moments ago, accused the feds of trying to silence him during a campaign. Did you see today that deranged jack smith . Hes the prosecutor. Hes a deranged person. He wants to take away my rights under the First Amendment. He wants to take away my right of speaking freely and openly. Keep in mind, trum

Not only is the Biden Justice department prosecuting former President Donald Trump in two separate cases, it is now also prosecuting the sitting president s son, indicting hunter biden on three criminal charges, all in connection with a gun that he purchased in 2018. The charges include two counts of lying on an atf form to buy that gun, and possessing a firearm as a drug user. He allegedly lied about his drug use to buy a revolver in delaware, as he was struggling with Drug Addiction and alcohol abuse, and in and out of rehab, which he wrote about openly in his book. Hunter biden, his legal team, and really the whole white house had hoped this would be in the Rearview Mirror by now, but his plea deal collapsed over the summer in stunning fashion. And now tonight, his legal team is vowing to fight these new charges. This charge, brought today, violates the agreement the government made with hunter biden.
