Lawyers for former President Donald Trump are slamming prosecutors’ request for a narrow gag order in his 2020 election subversion case in Washington, calling it an effort to “unconstitutionally silence” his political speech. In court papers filed late Monday, attorneys for Trump urge U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to deny the proposal to bar the Republican ex-president from making inflammatory and intimidating comments about witnesses, lawyers and other people involved in the criminal case.Trump’s attorneys call the request a “desperate effort at censorship” that would prevent him from telling his side of the story on the campaign trial as he runs to retake the White House in 2024. “The prosecution may not like President’s Trump’s entirely valid criticisms, but neither it nor this Court are the filter for what the public may hear,” his legal team wrote. “If the prosecution wishes to avoid criticism for abusing its power, the solution is simple: stop...

Remains Wet With Times of Storms

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:12:55 GMT

The pattern will remain unsettled with a chance of daily rain and storms this week. Tropical moisture is forecast to continue to stream in our direction from the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean and get trapped across the region with a stalled front over the Southeast United States. This will be the fuel the air needs along the daytime heat to help on and off storms develop and move from South to North. A few of the storms that form could produce pockets of heavy rain, gusty winds over 40 mph and frequent dangerous lightning. Best chance will be around interior locations and Florida Keys. Have a wonderful day South Florida and make it a safe one! Vivian GonzalezMeteorologist, AMS Certified WSVN Channel 7
