NEW: After "accidentally" forgetting to add the proposed gag order in motion last week, Jack Smith filed it yesterday.

This is the furthest thing from a "narrow" order. It is another contempt trap not just for Trump but those around him including campaign spokesmen. Trump's only allowable response would be "no comment" or "I am not guilty."

And the argument about keeping a jury "impartial" by silencing any criticism of the process by defendant and his associates is not just absurd but totally contrary to how every DC judge has handled change of venue motions.

Even amid wall-to-wall news coverage in DC on Jan 6 including nationally televised nighttime hearings by J6 committee, judges insist careful voir dire would result in a fair jury. This happened during Proud Boys and Oath Keepers trials when committee specifically targeted the individual defendants while jury selection was underway.

Will be very easy for Team Trump to refute this argument and merely look up every change of venue motion denial by nearly every judge on the district court. I bet Chutkan has at least one, too.
