The Particular Counsel wrote in a brand new movement associated to the categorised paperwork case:

The Authorities strikes to change defendant Donald J. Trump’s situations of launch, to clarify that he might not make statements that pose a big, imminent, and foreseeable hazard to regulation enforcement brokers collaborating within the investigation and prosecution of this case.

The Government’s request is critical due to a number of deliberately false and inflammatory statements just lately made by Trump that distort the circumstances underneath which the Federal Bureau of Investigation deliberate and executed the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. These statements create a grossly deceptive impression in regards to the intentions and conduct of federal regulation enforcement agents—falsely suggesting that they have been complicit in a plot to assassinate him—and expose these brokers, a few of whom will likely be witnesses at trial, to the danger of threats, violence, and harassment.

The Courtroom has an “impartial obligation to guard the integrity of this judicial continuing,”

…

A situation of launch that prohibits the defendant from making statements posing a big, imminent, and foreseeable hazard to regulation enforcement brokers collaborating within the investigation and prosecution of this case is warranted and mandatory right here.

It looks like Cannon’s fixed safety of Trump from the bench will likely be appealed in some unspecified time in the future. Particular Counsel Smith seems to be making an attempt all affordable treatments to guard witnesses and jurors.

Decide Aileen Cannon is letting him get away with it, however Jack Smith isn’t stopping his efforts to guard witnesses, jurors, and regulation enforcement members.
