Judge Aileen Cannon considers a limited gag order for Trump due to potential danger from his statements about law enforcement.

Judge Aileen Cannon, overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case, is considering a limited gag order to prevent the former president from making statements that pose a "significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger" to law enforcement agents. This comes after prosecutors argue that Trump's rhetoric about federal agents' use-of-force policy during their search of Mar-a-Lago could invite violent acts on law enforcement. The limited gag order would focus on whether Trump's statements are false and misleading, rather than relying on First Amendment issues.
