Trump Fights Back Against Gag Order in Federal Election Case

Lawyers for Donald Trump have filed a notice to appeal a partial gag order in the case accusing him of illegally attempting to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. The order, issued by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, prohibits Trump from making public statements that "target" prosecutors, court staff, and potential witnesses involved in the case. Trump has criticized the decision as a constraint on his free speech rights while campaigning for the 2024 Republican nomination, but the order still allows him to criticize the Justice Department and denounce the prosecution as politically motivated.
