Attorney Slams Donald Trump's 'Tired and Laughable' Legal Filing

Donald Trump's legal team has been criticized for submitting "tired and laughable" legal filings arguing against the need for a gag order ahead of his federal election trial. The trial focuses on Trump's alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 election results. The Department of Justice has requested the reinstatement of a gag order due to threats and harassment received by the judge and court staff overseeing the trial. Trump's lawyers argue that there is insufficient evidence to justify a gag order and that it violates his First Amendment rights. Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance criticized Trump's lawyers, stating that his rhetoric has resulted in real-life threats and harassment.
