US District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that she plans to put serious limits over how sensitive evidence is handled in the Donald Trump 2020 election interference case, in a dramatic hearing Friday in Washington, DC, that could set the tone for the upcoming trial.
The former president has a right to free speech, but that right is “not absolute,” Chutkan said. “Mr. Trump, like every American, has a First Amendment right to free speech, but that right is not absolute. In a criminal case such as this one, the defendant’s free speech is subject to the rules.”
This has been the case forever. Why is this ‘news’?
Edit: For those disagreeing, what has changed?
because the orange man and his mob have recently made the claim that his J6 actions are constitutionally protected.
recently. not olds. news.
Free speech has always had a line that is fluid until ruled on by a court.
This is news because the judge just drew the line regarding this case.
She is not going to even entertain any free speech bullshit if he leaks any privileged discovery information.
Might just be a reminder
That’s not the only thing the story is about.
