Far-right internet personality Laura Loomer posted two documents that listed what appears to be James’ home address in Brooklyn, which Trump then shared.
I don’t think it is most of the time. Typically it’s publicly available information. I’m not even sure this counts as doxxing, despite what the headline says.
Doxxing classically meant “here is this person online who is anonymous or otherwise obscures their identity, and here is all this info about who they really are.” IMO we use the term too broadly these days.
If all they revealed here was her street address - anyone could have got that with a google search, I would think.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s one more example of Trump wink winking at the camera as stochastic terrorism is on the rise for sure, and maybe it was in violation of the gag order, but I doubt it’s a criminal act.

Mm, that’s a good point. Thanks
