"Trump's Ongoing Battle with Judges Over Gag Order and Recusal Requests"

Fox News host Howard Kurtz corrected Donald Trump's spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, about the terms of Trump's gag order in his Manhattan "hush money" case, clarifying that Trump can still talk about the case. The gag order, issued by Judge Juan Merchan, prohibits Trump from making public statements about prosecutors, witnesses, or jurors, and their families. Trump has continued to publicly attack Merchan and his daughter despite the order, claiming he would be willing to go to jail for speaking the "open and obvious truth." The trial for the case begins on Monday, April 15.

Dominion is alleging that Fox defamed the company by broadcasting former President Trump's and his allies' claims that the company's machines were used for election fraud in the 2020 election. Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis sanctioned Fox last week for withholding evidence in the ongoing lawsuit, just days before the lawsuit is set to go to trial on Monday.
