A pause on Donald Trump’s gag order in his federal election interference trial in D.C. is in place as an appeals court reviews the matter.
Former president Donald Trump is again free to disparage the prosecutors, witnesses and court staffers involved in his federal election obstruction case in D.C. — for now.
A federal appeals court put a judge’s gag order against Trump on hold while it considers his claim that the restrictions violate his First Amendment rights. Briefs from both sides are due over the next three weeks. The panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit deciding the case is made up of two appointees of President Barack Obama and one appointee of President Biden.
