Trump's Gag Order Battle: Implications for Federal Election Interference

A three-judge panel in a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., is considering whether to loosen a gag order against former President Donald Trump in a federal election interference case. The judges appeared skeptical of both sides during arguments on reinstating the order, which prevented Trump from making inflammatory comments against prosecutors, potential witnesses, and court staff. The outcome of the hearing will determine what Trump can and cannot say as the trial date approaches. The gag order was initially imposed by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan and later reinstated after a previous appeal. Trump has continued to deny any wrongdoing and has criticized those involved in the case.
