The federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's classified documents case denied a special counsel's request to bar Trump from making statements that could endanger law enforcement. The judge agreed with Trump's lawyers that the special counsel should have meaningfully conferred with the defense before filing such a motion, as required by local rules, and warned of potential sanctions for non-compliance. Trump's lawyers accused the special counsel of violating local rules and requested the court to impose sanctions on the prosecutors involved. The request came after Trump falsely claimed that President Joe Biden planned to assassinate him, prompting concerns about potential dangers to law enforcement agents.
