Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed a motion requesting a judge to prohibit Donald Trump from making incendiary claims that FBI agents were involved in a plot to assassinate him.
The filing, directed to U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon, asserts that Trump’s recent statements have endangered FBI agents by exposing them to threats and harassment. This motion follows a week of legal challenges for Trump, including ongoing trials and claims about the origins of his cases. The filing highlights federal law enforcement’s concern over potential violence inspired by Trump’s remarks.
