Special counsel Jack Smith filed a request on Friday for a narrow gag order to be imposed on former President Donald Trump in his 2020 election case in federal court. Smith, in a filing in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, said he is seeking restrictions on certain "extrajudicial statements" from the former president related to his case involving his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
