Former President Trump was ordered earlier this week by a federal judge not to post statements targeting court staff, potential witnesses, special counsel Jack Smith or his family.
D.C. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has issued an administrative stay, agreeing to temporarily pause her partial gag order of former President Donald Trump to give the parties time to submit appeal briefs.
The stay is not related to the merits of the case.
Late Friday afternoon in a court filing, Trump defense attorneys asked Judge Chutkan to stay the limited gag order she issued against Trump in the, while Trump appeals the order, arguing that it’s unconstitutional.
