Trump's Late-Night Truth Social Rant Sparks Reimposed Gag Order by Judge Chutkan

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan has reimposed a gag order on former President Donald Trump ahead of his trial over his reported efforts to undermine the 2020 presidential election. The order, which limits Trump from targeting court staff, special counsel's staff, potential witnesses, and their families, will remain in place while his legal team appeals. Trump responded with a late-night rant on Truth Social, claiming his First Amendment rights were being violated and criticizing the judge and potential witnesses. Chutkan's decision came after concerns were raised that Trump was using the pause in the gag order to target witnesses in his social media posts.
