"US Appeals Court Mostly Upholds Trump Gag Order in Election Interference Case"

A US appeals court has mostly upheld a partial gag order in the Washington, D.C.-election subversion case against Donald Trump, with slight modifications. The court ruled that the gag order can remain in place to protect the fair administration of justice and the safety of those involved in the upcoming criminal trial. The order restricts public statements about witnesses and counsel in the case, but allows Trump to criticize the Biden administration and his prosecution as politically motivated. Trump plans to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court. His trial is scheduled to begin on March 4, 2024.
