But former US president gets a legal win in battle over what he can say before election fraud trial.
Donald Trump has said his lawyers will seek a venue change and new judge in his election fraud case.A federal judge has warned former US President Donald Trump against making "inflammatory" statements which could taint the jury pool ahead of his trial for conspiring to overturn the result of the 2020 election.
"The fact that the defendant is engaged in a political campaign is not going to allow him any greater or lesser latitude than any defendant in a criminal case." Judge Chutkan agreed. However, she said that his First Amendment rights was "not absolute" amid the ongoing case - and warned that she would not allow a "carnival atmosphere" at his eventual trial.
"And there, a lot of the witnesses are going to be FBI agents who went in and seized the documents. They aren't going to be intimidated."The protective order is far from the only point of contention for Mr Trump in his Washington DC case. He has also argued that he cannot expect a fair trial in the US capital because the city's electorate votes overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates.Any venue change, however, is extremely unlikely.
