Judge is skeptical of putting gag order on Donald Trump in classified documents case
From CNN's Holmes Lybrand

Judge Aileen Cannon indicated Monday she is skeptical of placing a gag order on Donald Trump and asked prosecutors if they wanted to provide more evidence of the former president’s words leading to threats.

The hearing is ongoing, and Cannon is not expected to rule today.

She set a deadline for Wednesday for prosecutors to decide whether they want to provide her more evidence in the record around the gag order issue.

Prosecutor David Harbach said the Justice Department will tell the court by tomorrow.

The judge has said she wants to provide both sides “adequate opportunity to respond” each time more evidence about gag orders, threats and other courts’ actions is brought into the Florida documents case.

The situation highlights how Cannon keeps allowing more arguments and information into the case, often putting off making decisions for weeks.
