BREAKING: Former President Donald Trump's attorneys opposed special counsel Jack Smith's proposal for a protective order in the case related to the 2020 election, according to a court document filed Monday.
Trump's attorneys argued Smith's protective order, which prosecutors typically use to dictate how discovery is handled in a case, was"overbroad" and accused the Department of Justice of seeking to"restrict First Amendment rights."
Protecting certain discovery"does not require a blanket gag order over all documents produced by the government," Trump's defense team wrote. His lawyers added,"Rather, the Court can, and should, limit its protective order to genuinely sensitive materials—a less restrictive alternative that would satisfy any government interest in confidentiality while preserving the First Amendment rights of President Trump and the public."

No, Jack Smith doesn’t have to prove Trump knew he lostStrange as it may seem, why Trump allegedly committed these crimes is beside the point. Without ever showing that Trump knew he had lost the 2020 election. Yes, Smith did spill a good deal of ink including allegations that, if proven, would demonstrate that Trump was well aware that Biden had defeated him, and that his statements to the contrary were knowing lies. But those allegations merely help Smith tell us, and eventually a jury, a consistent story.
