The headline does not say it all.

"The Government moves to modify defendant Donald J. Trump’s conditions of release, to make clear that he may not make statements that pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case," the filings from Smith said.

The New York Times explained the justification for the gag order request:

In a social media post on Tuesday, Mr. Trump falsely claimed that President Biden “authorized the FBI to use deadly (lethal) force” during the search.

By falsely suggesting that F.B.I. agents “were complicit in a plot to assassinate him,” prosecutors wrote, Mr. Trump exposed them “to the risk of threats, violence and harassment.”

To bolster their point, prosecutors reminded Judge Cannon that days after the search of Mar-a-Lago — a legal investigative step that Mr. Trump condemned on social media as an attack against him — an armed man in Ohio tried to shoot his way into an F.B.I. field office near Cincinnati.
