Community in Shock as Ripple CTO Stands Firm on Biden’s Gag Order Plea
Reportedly, the court overseeing the sensitive document handling case involving former President Donald Trump has rejected special counsel Jack Smith’s request for a partial gag order. Trump’s legal team has claimed that Smith did not consult with them before filing the motion, leading to this conclusion. The ongoing differences between Smith and Trump’s legal staff are escalating tensions.
In response to the alleged mishandling of confidential documents by Donald Trump, David Schwartz, the Chief Technology Officer of Ripple, unexpectedly came to the defense of President Joe Biden. This resulted in a specific gag order and a high-profile press conference, which sparked strong reactions from various groups during the controversial trial that received extensive media coverage.

Controversy Unfolds: Ripple CTO Takes a Stand
Despite criticism from the crypto community regarding the President’s involvement in the trial, Schwartz defended Biden’s actions. He argued that given the special counsel’s efforts to restrict public statements, it was necessary to respond firmly to Trump’s comments. However, his remarks raised concerns about the potential impact of Sheppard v. Maxwell on a fair trial.
Update on Trump’s Trial: Gag Order Denied
Significantly, on May 28th, Judge Aileen Cannon denied special counsel Jack Smith’s request for a gag order, which aimed to restrict Trump’s statements regarding the FBI’s search of his property. However, Trump’s repeated claims about Biden’s alleged intentions during the raid raised concerns among prosecutors, leading to the request for the gag order. Judge Cannon’s decision underscored the ongoing tension between the judicial process and Trump’s public statements.
Strategic Move by the Biden Campaign
The judge rejected the gag order due to insufficient consultation with Trump’s legal team, highlighting the tension between the law and Trump’s statements. Meanwhile, Biden’s campaign became involved in Trump’s trial, staging a presence outside the courthouse and drawing attention to Trump’s involvement in the Capitol incident. Actor Robert De Niro and two former police officers from the Capitol also joined the campaign to emphasize the significance of the upcoming election.
Ripple’s CTO’s defense of Biden adds an intriguing twist to the narrative. What do you think will be the outcome, positive or negative? Only time will tell.
