The gag order from District Judge Tanya Chutkan restricts Trump’s ability to publicly target court personnel, potential witnesses, special counsel Jack Smith and his staff.
The appeals court has temporarily frozen the gag order as Trump continues to contest it.
“The Gag Order violates President Trump’s most fundamental First Amendment rights.
The former president was recently under a gag order in the $250 million New York state civil fraud case.
“The entire Gag Order rests on an unconstitutional ‘heckler’s veto’ theory, so it is overbroad in its entirety.”Trump’s arguments were not persuasive when he tried to have Chutkan pause the gag order while his appeal unfolded.
