Trump's Gag Order Drama: Accusations, Fines, and Denials

Special Counsel Jack Smith has requested the revival of a partial gag order in the federal election interference case against Donald Trump, citing the former president's "threatening" social media posts about former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Smith's team argued that Trump's posts were intended to send a message to Meadows, a potential witness in the case. Trump's legal team is appealing the gag order, claiming it infringes on his First Amendment rights. Prosecutors argue that without the order, Trump's disparaging language poses a real danger. Trump is also facing multiple other legal cases, including allegations of hush-money payments, document hoarding, and election subversion.
