Twenty-four Republican attorneys general combined Sunday, Father’s Day, to oppose special counsel Jack Smith’s request for a gag order, defending former President Donald Trump’s “colorful rhetoric” and arguing that Truth Social posts about the feds’ search of Mar-a-Lago were not true threats to law enforcement.

Seeing that U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has allowed amici curiae, or friends of the court, to submit arguments on other issues in the Espionage Act case, a collection of AGs from nearly half of the states in the country asked the judge for permission to file a brief against Smith’s demand for an “illegal prior restraint” while Trump’s “presidential campaign is in full swing.”
