Trump Lawyers File 25-Page Objection Demanding Gag Order Be Rejected: ‘Biden Attempting To Silence Most Prominent Opponent'

On Monday, leading 2024 presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump’s lawyers filed a late-night 25-page objection arguing that a proposed gag order by prosecutors is an unconstitutional attempt by President Joe Biden to “silence his most prominent political opponent.”

"Following these efforts to poison President Trump's defense, the prosecution now asks the Court to take the extraordinary step of stripping President Trump of his First Amendment freedoms during the most important months of his campaign against President Biden," Trump attorneys Gregory Singer, John Lauro, and Todd Blanche wrote in the late-night filing.

"The Court should reject this transparent gamesmanship and deny the motion entirely," the filing adds.

"The proposed gag order is nothing more than an obvious attempt by the Biden Administration to unlawfully silence its most prominent political opponent, who has now taken a commanding lead in the polls," the filings read.

MSNBC attorney and legal analyst Lisa Rubin said Trump’s 25-page filing was “stunning”, saying, “They have accused the Biden Administration of filing the motion to distract from Trump's 'commanding lead in the polls' and part of a larger election interference scheme.

Rubin added, "It's one thing for Trump himself to say this; it's stunning to see it from his lawyers."

This comes after far-left Special Counsel Jack Smith requested the gag order earlier this month over social media posts made by Trump.

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer’s Sterling Mosley:

"Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion with a federal judge in order to have a gag order placed on 45th President Donald Trump in his case into the former president's conduct following the 2020 election.

The defendant’s past conduct, including conduct that has taken place after and as a direct result of the indictment in this case, amply demonstrates the need for this order," the filing says, per Politico."
