U.S. prosecutors express concern over Trump’s threatening post on Truth Social, fearing it may intimidate witnesses in his criminal case.
The post states, “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”
Prosecutors argue this could imply a threat to disclose confidential evidence, which is illegal, prompting them to seek a court order to stop such behavior.
Trump’s legal team is yet to respond to the prosecutors’ filing.
Past accusations of Trump threatening witnesses include him suggesting to “lock up” political opponents and intimidating witnesses during the Russia investigation.
The judge’s decision on ordering Trump to halt threatening posts remains unknown, but the prosecutors’ filing indicates their seriousness about the matter.
Notably, Trump is presumed innocent until proven guilty, as he has not been convicted of any crimes. Nevertheless, the prosecutors’ filing hints at their belief in the possibility of his involvement in a crime.
The case against Trump is in its early stages, with potential charges being dropped or acquittal at trial. However, the prosecutors’ assertive action signifies their confidence in the evidence against Trump.
