Former President Donald Trump will argue before the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit on Monday that a gag order placed on him in his federal election subversion criminal case violates his First Amendment rights. The gag order from the district court restricts Trump's ability to publicly target court personnel, potential witnesses, and special counsel Jack Smith. Trump's lawyers argue the gag order is overly broad and vague. They say it restricts "large amounts of core political speech that poses no plausible threat." Prosecutors counter that Trump's attacks could endanger some people close to the case and undermine the judicial process. Legal experts believe Trump's challenge is unlikely to succeed given precedence around limiting speech that could prejudice a trial.
