Trump's Attack on Witness Collides with Gag Order and Court Rulings

Former President Donald Trump's recent attack on former Attorney General William Barr, who could potentially testify against him in the trial regarding his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, collided with a court-imposed gag order that prohibits Trump from targeting witnesses. Trump's campaign claims that he is being unconstitutionally muzzled and argues that he should be allowed to speak freely as a presidential candidate. The issue of whether Trump can conform to the gag order and the court's ability to enforce it will be a constant question leading up to the trial. The challenge may eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court, which has never ruled on the constitutionality of gag orders against criminal defendants.
