Trump responds to special counsel's effort to limit his remarks about FBI in documents case

Attorneys for former President Donald Trump on Monday evening pushed back against special counsel Jack Smith's request Friday that a federal judge in Florida modify Trump's conditions of release in the probe into Trump's handling of classified documents.

Federal prosecutors have asked U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing the documents case, to modify the condition of Trump's release in order to bar him from making public statements that "pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents" who are participating in the prosecution.

"Trump's repeated mischaracterization of these facts in widely distributed messages as an attempt to kill him, his family, and Secret Service agents has endangered law enforcement officers involved in the investigation and prosecution of this case and threatened the integrity of these proceedings," prosecutors told Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump.
