"Jan. 6 Rioters' Legal Battles: Assault Charges and Sentencing"

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan sentenced Capitol rioter Antony Vo to nine months in jail, clashing with his defense attorney in heated exchanges during the sentencing. The defense attorney tried to delay the sentencing and claimed Vo did not violate the conditions of his release, but Chutkan disagreed, stating that Vo did not believe the law applied to him. Vo was also ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and will be on supervised release for 12 months after serving his jail sentence.

"Federal Judge Delays Trump's Election Trial Amid Appeals"

Judge Tanya Chutkan has officially scrapped the March 4 trial date for the federal case against former President Donald J. Trump, as it remains unclear when the trial might start. The delay comes as Trump pursues an effort to have the charges tossed out by claiming complete immunity from prosecution, which is currently being considered by a three-judge panel. This decision marks the latest development in the ongoing struggle between Trump's lawyers and prosecutors over the timing of the trial.

Trump's Gag Order Battle: Judge Chutkan's Approach Under Scrutiny

A former federal prosecutor has called for Judge Tanya Chutkan to take a tougher approach with Donald Trump in his election-fraud trial, suggesting that she either jail him or hold him in contempt if he continues to violate his gag order. The Washington, D.C. court of appeals recently reinstated Chutkan's gag order on Trump, allowing him to criticize the chief prosecutor but not his family or court staff. The former prosecutor argues that previous minor fines have been ineffective, and revoking Trump's bond for bad behavior would require him to go to jail until his trial begins in March. Trump is facing four criminal cases while campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Trump Faces Limited Gag Order in Election Case

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.
