"Judge Reimposes Gag Order on Trump in Federal Election Subversion Case"

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has reinstated a gag order on former President Donald Trump in his federal election interference case. The order prohibits Trump from making public statements targeting prosecutors, court staff, and likely witnesses. Judge Chutkan stated that the restrictions are necessary to protect the administration of justice and rejected Trump's argument that the order is unconstitutionally vague. She cited evidence of threats and harassment faced by individuals targeted by Trump's public attacks. Trump's appeal to lift the gag order was temporarily paused, and the judge believes he is unlikely to win on the merits.
