Prosecutors had argued they were not seeking to stop Mr Trump from campaigning in the election but contended that his comments about potential witnesses could lead to attempted intimidation by some of his supporters. “They want to take away my first amendment rights, and my ability to both campaign and defend myself. In other words, they want to cheat and interfere in the 2024 presidential election. Nothing like this has ever happened in our country before,” he said.
