Speaking at a campaign rally in Iowa on Monday, Trump called the judge's order "unconstitutional" and vowed to appeal it. "I'll be the only politician in history that runs with a gag order where I'm not allowed to criticize people," Trump told supporters. The order bars Trump, frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, and attorneys in the case from personally targeting Special Counsel Jack Smith, prosecutors working with him and court staff. Prosecutors sought a limited gag order that would bar certain statements from Trump during the case. The judge said she would allow Trump to make critical statements about the U.S. Justice Department and that denounce the prosecution as politically motivated.

“This is not about whether I like the language Mr. Trump uses,” Judge Tanya Chutkan said. Trump will appeal Chutkan’s order, he said in a post on his social media website Truth Social. Following the two federal indictments against the former president, Trump has lashed out against prosecutors, potential witnesses and the judge overseeing the election subversion case in Washington. “When you start to use a word like ‘thug’ to describe a prosecutor doing their job, that wouldn’t be allowed by any other criminal defendant,” Chutkan said. Limited gag order issued in NY fraud trialIf Chutkan does decide to place restrictions on what the former president can say, she won’t be the first judge to do so.

☆ Takeaways from the testy hearing over the Trump gag order and what it means
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-16 | by ( Hannah Rabinowitz | Holmes Lybrand | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

Though limited in scope, the gag order from Judge Tanya Chutkan is likely the biggest limit on the former president’s speech he has ever been handed. Chutkan outlined the order in court and plans to issue a more detailed written order in the coming days. That order bars Trump only from speaking publicly about the court staff in his civil fraud trial. Chutkan also said she believed she could issue a show-cause order, which would require Trump justify why he breached the rules of the gag order. Violations of the gag order may not necessarily need to be raised by prosecutors for Chutkan to impose a penalty, she said.

Trump, as a criminal defendant, "does not have the right to say and do exactly as he pleases," Chutkan said. The exchanges came as U.S. prosecutors sought a court order to limit Trump's public statements about people involved in the case. Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the 2024 U.S. election. Molly Gaston, a prosecutor working with Special Counsel Jack Smith, said the order was necessary to prevent Trump from trying the case "in the court of public opinion." "These prosecutors want to prevent President Trump from speaking out on the issues of the day," Lauro told the judge, adding that the case is "inextricably intertwined with campaign issues."

“This is not about whether I like the language Mr. Trump uses,” U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said in announcing the decision. But Molly Gaston, who argued for the prosecution, underscored that the Justice Department isn’t seeking to prevent Trump from campaigning. Notably, the judge’s order deals Trump one of the first major consequences he’ll have to reckon with in relation to his ongoing trials. It remains to be seen how the order will impact his daily social media presence and campaigning tactics. Trump did not immediately respond directly to Chutkan’s order, but a spokesman called it the work of “weaponized and targeted law enforcement.”

At one point, Chutkan asked prosecutor Molly Gaston to define which of Trump's statements about the case would qualify as "disparaging," and therefore be barred under the gag order. Lauro also argued that a gag order would adversely impact Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. "I do not need to hear any campaign rhetoric in my court," Chutkan chided Lauro at one point. Trump himself has repeatedly railed against the prosecutors' request for a partial gag order, accusing them of trying to "silence" him. During the hearing itself, Trump posted, "The TRUMP GAG ORDER that the CORRUPT Biden Administration is trying to obtain is totally Unconstitutional!"

The tribunal will issue an advisory opinion, which is not legally binding, but offers an authoritative statement on legal matters that could guide countries as they craft climate protection law. The prime ministers, representing the Commission of Small Island States on Climate Change and International Law (COSIS), will argue that countries have an obligation to protect the marine environment under the UN convention on the Law of the Sea, including from greenhouse gas emissions. Low-lying island states like Tuvalu and Vanuatu are also at risk of becoming submerged by water by the end of the century due to slow-onset climate impacts. Small island nations have also sought legal clarity on nations' climate obligations in other courts. Vanuatu led a campaign to ask the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to issue an advisory opinion on countries' obligations to address climate change.

☆ Jack Smith said Trump's 'daily' antagonistic social media posts pose a threat to the jury pool

Special Counsel Jack Smith said Tuesday that Trump's online posts could "prejudice the jury pool." He added that the urgent matters specifically included Trump's "daily extrajudicial statements" that he said could potentially "prejudice the jury pool." Smith's filing wasn't the first time prosecutors have cautioned about Trump's social media posts potentially affecting the jury pool. AdvertisementAdvertisementSoon after he was indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington, DC, in August, Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to repeatedly go after Judge Tanya Chutkan and Smith. In Trump's Washington, DC-based indictment, the DOJ alleges the former president broke the law while attempting to prevent Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election in favor of President Joe Biden.

“On a near daily basis, the defendant posts on social media about this case,” Gaston said. “He has publicly disparaged witnesses, he has attacked the integrity of the court and of the citizens of the District of Columbia." Gaston also sought to use some of Trump's attorney John Lauro’s own public statements in her arguments. Lauro has also publicly claimed, Gaston said, that he has read former Vice President Mike Pence’s book twice in anticipation of the trial. “We are not starting fresh from indictment in this case,” Gaston said.

Washington CNN —The federal criminal trial of Donald Trump on charges he sought to subvert the result of the 2020 presidential election will begin March 4, 2024, the day before the Super Tuesday primary, a federal judge ruled Monday. Special counsel Jack Smith had proposed a January 2024 start date and Trump sought to begin the trial two years later, in April 2026. Smith’s team told Chutkan in a filing earlier this month that the trial should begin on January 2, 2024. “The government’s objective is clear: to deny President Trump and his counsel a fair ability to prepare for trial,” they wrote in their filing. In the Georgia case, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis last week suggested an October 23, 2023, trial date, something Trump’s team also said they oppose.

A federal judge set Trump's election interference trial in Washington, DC, for March 4, 2024. Prosecutors want a trial quickly because Trump's social media attacks could influence the jury pool. Lucian Chalfen, a spokesperson for the New York state court system, told Insider that Trump's trial date in Manhattan has not been changed. Judges have sought to reign in Trump's social media posts in other ways. Lauro has previously said he wants the case trial in West Virginia, which legal experts say is unlikely to happen.

In special counsel Jack Smith’s election subversion case, Trump’s bid to put the trial off until after the election appears to have failed. Meanwhile, the criminal case against Trump in New York is also scheduled for March. For instance, prosecutor Molly Gaston pointedly confronted Trump attorney John Lauro with his own public statements during the hearing Monday.

Aug 8 (Reuters) - Piedmont Lithium (PLL.O) on Tuesday drew skepticism and anger at a key meeting with local North Carolina officials about its plans for a lithium mine that would supply the electric vehicle battery metal to Tesla (TSLA.O). Piedmont said it would be open to helping its neighbors in those situations dig deeper wells or connect to municipal water supplies. Piedmont first signed a deal to supply lithium to Tesla in 2021 from North Carolina. "We've not heard from Piedmont Lithium in over two years," said Warren Snowdon, whose land shares an 8,000-foot-border with the proposed site. "So I don't know if they don't care and I don't know if they're concerned about us."

Maj. Joshua Mast, after a raid on an Afghan village, tried for years to adopt a baby he found in the rubble. The high-profile legal battle pits an Afghan family against an American one, and has drawn responses from the White House and the Taliban. The AP has located no records of the birth of the farmer's baby or photographs of her with the family before the raid. Four of the farmer's children had survived, so covered with dust and dirt they were almost unrecognizable, said neighbor Rahim. Less than two years after the raid, Mast helped the Afghan couple and the toddler flee as the country collapsed and the Taliban took over.

CNN —If TikTok and Reddit influencers are to be believed, the plant-based compound called berberine can be a replacement for such popular diabetes and weight loss drugs as Ozempic and Wegovy. Is berberine’s weight loss effect meaningful? Berberine may enhance the body’s natural production of GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide 1, a gastrointestinal hormone that’s used in Ozempic and other new weight loss drugs. However, in terms of its weight loss benefits, they are modest at best,” he said. “Metformin lowers blood sugar, and berberine lowers blood sugar,” Levitt said.
