Federal prosecutors have told a federal judge that if Donald Trump had bought a gun earlier this week during a campaign stop, he would be violating his release conditions as a criminal defendant and breaking the law, according to a Friday court filing.
A campaign spokesman for Trump had posted on social media that Trump bought a Glock in South Carolina on Monday, then removed the post and clarified to CNN the former president hadn’t purchased the firearm.
Prosecutors pointed to the moment, as well as the former president’s recent attacks on departing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, in asking a federal judge to place more restrictions on Trump, particularly on what he can say, as he awaits trial in Washington, DC, on federal charges of 2020 election interference.
I’m torn between “let him keep on perjuring himself” and “he will literally claw his own skin off if he isn’t allowed to speak publicly.” So I’m not sure what I want to see here.
Considering it’s not perjury unless he’s doing it on the stand, should be an easy choice.
Let him start to claw his skin off, then put him on the stand.
