Election shocker!
Reportedly, the court overseeing former President Donald Trump’s document handling case has rejected special counsel Jack Smith’s request for a partial gag order. Trump’s legal team argued that Smith did not consult them before filing the motion, leading to this decision. This highlights the ongoing tension between Smith and Trump’s legal team.
In response to Donald Trump’s alleged mishandling of confidential documents, Ripple CTO David Schwartz unexpectedly defended President Joe Biden. A specific gag order and a notable press conference resulted in strong reactions from diverse quarters during the controversial and media-covered trial.
Schwartz defended Biden’s actions despite crypto community criticism of the President’s trial involvement. Given the special counsel’s efforts to curb his public statements, Schwartz claimed that Trump’s comments deserved a stern response. However, his comments raised questions about the impact of Sheppard v. Maxwell on a fair trial.
On May 28, Judge Aileen Cannon denied special counsel Jack Smith’s request for a gag order intended to restrict Trump’s statements about the FBI’s search of his property. Trump’s claims about Biden’s alleged motives during the raid have raised concerns among prosecutors, leading to the gag order request. Judge Cannon’s decision underscores the delicate balance between legal proceedings and Trump’s public statements.
The judge denied the gag order because there wasn’t enough discussion with Trump’s team. This shows the tension between the law and what Trump says. Meanwhile, Biden’s team got involved in Trump’s trial. They showed up outside the trial and brought attention to Trump’s involvement in the Capitol incident. Actor Robert De Niro and two ex-police officers at the Capitol also joined to highlight the importance of the upcoming election.
Ripple’s CTO’s defense of Biden adds a unique twist to the narrative. What do you think will be the result, good or bad? Only time will tell.
