Special counsel Jack Smith added a new piece of evidence to his motion to impose a gag order on former President Donald Trump in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.
Specifically, according to analyst Allison Gill, better known as Mueller, She Wrote, he "has added the June 11 threat against an FBI agent by a trump supporter to his motion to modify Trump’s bail conditions in the Mar a Lago case. This is in response to Trump asserting falsely that Biden and the FBI were trying to assassinate him during the search of Mar a Lago."
In reality, the deadly force policy in the search warrant executed by the FBI was boilerplate language used throughout the agency's operations.

"[J]ust last week, a supporter of Trump called an FBI agent associated with the Hunter Biden case and claimed that, if Trump wins reelection, FBI agents will be thrown in jail; and if he does not win, the agents will be 'hunt[ed] down' and 'slaughter[ed]' in their own homes, after which '[w]e’re going to slaughter your whole f------ family,'" stated Smith's filing. "No court would tolerate another defendant deliberately creating such immediate risks to the safety of law enforcement, and this Court should not wait for a tragic event before taking action in this case."
The man in question, 43-year-old Timothy Muller of Fort Worth, Texas, was arrested earlier this month following this threatening communication.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, herself a Trump appointee who has come under controversy for her repeated decisions that appear calculated to tilt the documents trial in Trump's favor, has dragged her feet on making a ruling on a gag order. New reporting reveals that multiple federal judges, including the chief judge, advised her to step aside from the case due to her inexperience and she refused to do so.
