Judge Chutkan Reinstates Trump Gag Order, Restricting His Public Statements About Trial
  • 6 months ago
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan reinstated the gag order on Donald Trump that limits his public comments about witnesses or prosecutors in the federal election interference case against him. The gag order was temporarily lifted last week to allow Trump's legal team to appeal. Still, Judge Chutkan rescinded the administrative stay on Sunday, putting the gag order back into effect. The gag order is intended to protect the integrity and impartiality of the trial process by preventing Trump from making public statements that could threaten or influence potential witnesses or jurors. Trump and his team say the gag order violates his First Amendment rights, and they intend to appeal the judge's decision to reinstate it.
