    Quoting from the filing:

    C. The Court Should Immediately Lift the Administrative Stay and Modify the Defendant’s Conditions of Release.
    The defendant’s continued targeting of witnesses and repeated violations of a similar order in New York during the brief interval while the Order has been administratively stayed, see supra at 9 (describing Oct. 20, 2023 post), not only illustrate the risks of suspending the Court’s appropriate order; they demonstrate why the Court should lift the administrative stay and modify the defendant’s conditions of release to protect witnesses from his attacks.

    Even if Judge Chutkan agrees with this filing, and modifies the conditions of Trump’s release, that is still not a consequence. It’s a clarification of the consequence he should already have received, and has not. There is no modification of the conditions of release necessary; witness intimidation is a crime.

    Fascism continues to win.
