Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer. He was a prosecutor for the New York County District Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and is the author of “Bizarro,' a book about the secret war on synthetic drugs. Before he joined MSNBC, he was a legal reporter for Bloomberg Law.

On Friday, special counsel Jack Smith moved to modify Donald Trump’s release conditions in the classified documents case, asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to clarify that the defendant can’t make statements putting law enforcement in danger. The special counsel cited “several intentionally false and inflammatory statements recently made by Trump that distort the circumstances under which the Federal Bureau of Investigation planned and executed the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago.

In response Monday, Trump’s lawyers complained not only about the request “to impose an unconstitutional gag order on President Trump” based on “vague and unsupported assertions,” but also that the government lawyers involved in Smith’s motion should be sanctioned for filing it “without meaningful conferral.” As ever, the lawyers in the case are living on different planets, and Cannon’s response shows that she’s still living on something closer to Trump’s.
