Special counsel asks for 'narrow' gag order for Trump in election interference case

The lead prosecutor in the federal election meddling case against Donald Trump has requested a gag order to restrict his public comments on the case, citing the need to prevent disinformation and threats.
Prosecutors argue that Trump's public attacks on individuals and institutions inspire threats and harassment, and they are seeking a court order to limit his ability to speak about prospective witnesses and make disparaging or intimidating statements.
Trump criticized the request, claiming it was an attempt to silence him as a presidential candidate and alleging that the DOJ and FBI have been weaponized against him. He also mentioned leaks, lies, and lawsuits against him.
