Trump is still under a gag order in his New York fraud trial.
Topline
A Washington, D.C., federal appeals court stayed a gag order against former President Donald Trump on Friday in a federal case over his alleged attempts to interfere with the results of the 2020 election, though the former president still faces a separate gag order in his New York civil fraud trial.Key Facts
The gag order in the D.C. case, which Trump asked to be lifted Thursday, will be put on hold “to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal,” according to the order by a three-judge panel.
That gag order, which prohibited Trump from publicly criticizing all parties in the case, was initially issued by federal District Judge Tanya Chutkan on October 16, though it was temporarily lifted following Trump’s objection to it, and then reinstated earlier this week.
