Fed prosecutors asked judge overseeing #documents case against #Trump to bar TFG from public statements that “pose a significant, imminent, & foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents” participating in the prosecution.

The request to Judge Cannon follows false claim by Trump that FBI agents who searched his home in Aug 2022 were “authorized to shoot me” & “locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger” #legal
