Donald Trump has been indicted four times, and in two jurisdictions the subject involves his attempt to overturn the election results of an election he lost — DC being prosecuted by Jack Smith for the federal violations and Fulton County, Georgia, for his efforts in Georgia that are specific to that state’s electors and election laws.
Trump is not a president or even an official nominee of a major party. He is a criminal defendant. When you get indicted you lose certain rights and you incur a lot of inconvenience, including interruptions in your “day job” (Judge Tanya Chutkan’s words) and, yes, that includes loss of some freedom of speech. It can also mean a much greater loss of freedom if the judge revokes bail (in this case “own recognizance”).
