They argue that these statements have the potential to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/n-y-attorney-generals-office-discovers-astroturf-lobbying-scheme\/\" title=\"N.Y.

Whether the court\u200d will grant the request remains to\u200d be seen, but\u200b the outcome could have significant implications for the ongoing legal proceedings and \u200bthe broader conversation around free speech and the responsibility of public figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal prosecutors have requested a gag order on ex-President Donald Trump in the 2020 election interference case, citing his prejudicial social media statements.
