TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump is seeking an emergency stay of the limited gag order imposed by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in his federal election interference case. The gag order prohibits Trump from publicly targeting special counsel Jack Smith and his staff, as well as certain court personnel. Trump's lawyers argue that the order violates his First Amendment rights and have informed the court that they will seek relief from the U.S. Supreme Court if their request for a pause is denied. Trump is facing charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results and has pleaded not guilty.
