Trump is now facing a limited gag order after a federal judge's ruling on Monday.
Judge Tanya Chutkan's order will limit Trump's attacks on potential witnesses, prosecutors, and court staff.
Trump has repeatedly criticized special counsel Jack Smith, including saying he "looks like a crackhead."

The former president's attorneys had argued that imposing such a restriction would unfairly limit Trump's First Amendment rights, an argument Chutkan strongly rejected.
