A federal appeals court on Friday mostly upheld a trial judge’s gag order restricting former President Donald Trump’s speech about witnesses and court staff tied to the federal case alleging Trump committed crimes while trying to overturn the 2020 election.
Friday’s unanimous decision from a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the decision by Judge Tanya S. Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who is overseeing the case.
Trump has argued that the order violated his free speech rights and ability to speak about what he views as a politically motivated prosecution.
