On Friday, Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled against Biden prosecutors, saying that not all pre-trial information would fall under a protective order that would prevent Trump from speaking about the 2020 election case brought forth by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
While not all information would fall under the protective order, only information that was designated as sensitive, she agreed with the prosecution that witness interviews and transcripts that were collected during the grand jury’s investigation would be considered sensitive," according to Fox News.
"The defendant has the right to free speech, but that right is not absolute," Chutkan said at the beginning of the Friday morning hearing in Washington, DC. "Without a protective order, a party could release that info to the jury pool."
Federal prosecutor Thomas Windom said the gag order was necessary to prevent the "improper dissemination of materials … including to the public."
"The defendant has set forth an intention to set forth any information that they deem informative," Windom said.
"Defense has broadcast their strategy, and that is not to try this case in this courtroom, and your honor should address that."
