Trump Faces Limited Gag Order in Election Case
TL;DR Summary
A judge has imposed a limited gag order on former President Donald J. Trump, preventing him from publicly attacking witnesses, specific prosecutors, or court staff members involved in the federal case regarding his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. However, the order allows Trump to continue criticizing the Justice Department, President Biden, and even assert that his prosecution is politically motivated. The judge also stated that Trump can go after former Vice President Mike Pence as long as it doesn't touch on Pence's role in the case. Trump's legal team is expected to challenge the order, arguing it infringes on his free speech rights.
