Appeals court largely maintains Trump gag order in election interference case

The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit largely upheld a gag order on former President Donald Trump in an election interference case, allowing him to criticize the special counsel, judge, justice department, and Biden administration, but barring him from attacking potential trial witnesses, court staff, or the special counsel's staff. The court found that Trump's inflammatory statements posed a threat to the fair administration of justice and only partially narrowed the gag order imposed by the federal judge overseeing the case. Trump is expected to appeal the ruling to the US Supreme Court.
