Trump Lawyers Fight Gag Order in Classified Documents Case

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump's attorneys have asked a federal judge to reject special counsel Jack Smith's request for a gag order in the classified documents case and to find the prosecutors in contempt. The gag order would limit Trump's ability to publicly discuss the FBI's search of his Mar-a-Lago estate. Trump's legal team argues that the request is an unconstitutional attempt to censor him as he runs for president and that it unfairly conditions his liberty on compliance with prosecutors' views. The special counsel contends that Trump's false claims have endangered law enforcement officers involved in the case.
