Jack Smith claims Trump violated terms of release by buying handgun Demands new gag order

Special Counsel Jack Smith said ex-President Donald Trump was “caught potentially violating” his terms of release, citing a video in which a Trump surrogate claimed he purchased a firearm.
Two weeks ago, Smith’s team filed a motion for a limited gag order, but late Friday, a new motion in support of that proposed order responded to opposition from Trump attorneys and cited a raft of more recent events to underscore the urgency — including his now-infamous remarks about General Mark Milley. and his attacks on the judge and others.
In that same filing to Federal District Judge Tanya Chutkan, Smith raised the possibility that Trump could have his release-pending-trial status revoked over his apparent attempt to purchase a firearm.
Smith wrote “The defendant should not be permitted to obtain the benefits of his incendiary public statements and then avoid accountability by having others—whose messages he knows will receive markedly less attention than his own—feign retraction.”
Then in a footnote to that complaint, Smith pointed out the potential violation:

Then in a footnote to that complaint, Smith pointed out the potential violation:
quote:
The defendant recently was caught potentially violating his conditions of release, and tried to walk that back in similar fashion. In particular, on September 25, the defendant’s campaign spokesman posted a video of the defendant in the Palmetto State Armory, a Federal Firearms Licensee in Summerville, South Carolina. The video posted by the spokesman showed the defendant holding a Glock pistol with the defendant’s likeness etched into it.
The defendant stated, “I’ve got to buy one,” and posed for pictures with the FFL owners. The defendant’s spokesman captioned the video Tweet with the representation that the defendant had purchased the pistol, exclaiming, “President Trump purchases a @GLOCKInc in South Carolina!”
The spokesman subsequently deleted the post and retracted his statement, saying that the defendant “did not purchase or take possession of the firearm” (a claim directly contradicted by the video showing the defendant possessing the pistol).
See Fox News, Trump campaign walks back claim former president purchased Glock amid questions about legality (Sept. 25, 2023), https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-campaign-walks-back-claim-former-presidentpurchased-glock-amid-questions-about-legality (accessed Sept. 26, 2023).
Despite his spokesperson’s retraction, the Defendant then re-posted a video of the incident posted by one of his followers with the caption, “MY PRESIDENT Trump just bought a Golden Glock before his rally in South Carolina after being arrested 4 TIMES in a year.”
The defendant either purchased a gun in violation of the law and his conditions of release, or seeks to benefit from his supporters’ mistaken belief that he did so. It would be a separate federal crime, and thus a violation of the defendant’s conditions of release, for him to purchase a gun while this felony indictment is pending. See 18 U.S.C. § 922(n).

Innocent until proven guilty.
It shouldn't be a crime for him to buy a gun.

doesn't he already own guns??
this is just more harassment. - hell - are any of his 'charges' related to any sort of violence in any way ??
LAWFARE at its most despicable = nothing but constant unrelenting total harassment.

I would like a cite on the federal law that makes it illegal for fans to think you bought a gun when you didn't.

You should have him locked up immediately, Jack. Please lock him up.

not only that, but he has a concealed carry permit in New York.
The excuse for gun control is public safety.
Trump's status as a gun owner or possesor has zero effect on public safety.
This s the action of a rouge prosecutor who is abusing the legal system for political retribution.
These cases have nothing to do with justice.

This power-hungry, tyrannical gibberish from Smith has all been set in motion because the federal bench is a disaster, caving to the government at every opportunity.
And everything he mentions is unconstitutional. To think you can lock someone up because of what their supporters postulate on social media is pure hubris and insanity.
FBI has to go and the DOJ will require a 90% purge of all personnel. They don't even acknowledge the Constitution any longer.

Trump should (and will) continue to thumb his nose at these frickers (Smith and the Judge [and their counterparts in the other BS cases]).
He's essentially being prosecuted for "election interference" yet they are doing it with impunity

Trump is being convicted for corrupting the leftist version of 'society'.
Just like Socrates.

Damn, Smith is obsessed and must be stopped. DJT needs to change his name to Hunter and everything will be overlooked.

The more Smith pushes really stupid shite like this, the more he makes the entire case look like some political bullshite to the average American.

These were always obviously political prosecutions. Nice of them to make that clear to everyone with public filings.

Notice that Jack brought this to the judge in D.C. but not the Florida judge.
That's not an accident.

Everything he ever did, and everything he ever will do is a ham sandwich crime, bro. You of all people already know this.

For him to even put that in a filing is evidence of clear bias.
This whole this sucks. I wish Trump would have just returned all the documents. Giving the weasels ammunition is maddening.

What? Trump's an insurrectionist and it's against the law and a threat to our Dimocrazy to allow insurrectionists to purchase firearms.
