General attacks on the prosecutions he’s facing in Washington, Florida and Georgia — familiar themes in Trump rallies and speeches — or superficial encounters with people involved in his cases are unlikely to raise prosecutors’ eyebrows. But legal experts say there are lines Trump could cross if he mentions codefendants or witnesses by name or has more substantive interactions with them. And even general remarks, whether scripted or extemporaneous, could present risks if they could be interpreted as pressure on witnesses against cooperation or an attempt to influence their future testimony.
“If he were to meet with them in a conference room or hotel room, then concerns arise that they are violating not only the letter of the order but also the spirit of it,” said Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney from the Eastern District of Michigan. “With regard to a public speech, I think general comments about politically motivated prosecution probably would not cause any concern, but if Trump starts detailing his version of a cover story, then that could prompt prosecutors to argue that he has breached his terms of release.”
Violating release conditions can have an array of consequences, from facing tighter restrictions on his speech to being incarcerated while awaiting trial.

Trump attacked at podium in Butler PA?
Something seemed to have hit him on the right of the head. He went down, came back up.
Howard Dean says - we don’t know - but I suspect it was a gunshot that missed. He was in tv when this happened.
Edit:
Some coverage showing up.

He looks like he’ll be fine.
Wonder what would have happened if he wasn’t- he hasn’t even picked a veep candidate yet.
I wonder if the right is still feeling comfortable with calls for violence?

MTG has the inside scoop, or not.
People at the rally are shot.
Possibly one fatality.
Pray for everyone involved!!!
Pray for President Trump!!!
May God have mercy on our enemies because we will NOT.
Someone just tried to ASSASSINATE President Trump.
The Democrats and the media are to blame for every drop of blood spilled today.
For years and years, they’ve demonized him and his supporters.
Today, someone finally tried to take out the leader of our America First and the greatest President of all time.
Watch the video, President Trump said “FIGHT,” SO WE WILL!!

These scumbags in the media are responsible for what happened today.
People were shot (potentially killed) and this is what they claimed happened.

Witness on tv says the shooter was in a tower - and there was another guy. Nothing confirmed.
Bottom of screen says that secret service says the “threat is contained”; whatever that means.
