Special counsel Jack Smith accused former President Donald Trump of engaging in a “public disinformation campaign regarding the 2020 presidential election,” and is seeking a “narrow, well-defined restriction” on what he can say.

Mr. Smith is requesting Judge Tanya Chutkan to issue a “narrowly tailored” order to limit what public statements President Trump is allowed to make, and to review any pre-trial surveys, polls, focus groups, or other similar studies conducted by either side.
