Former President Donald Trump’s fiery rhetoric about his legal travails will be tested in a Washington, D.C., appeals court Monday in arguments that will determine how he can speak about a criminal case he has made part and parcel of his reelection bid.
Trump has asked a panel of judges at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to lift a partial gag order imposed by the federal judge in a case accusing him of crimes in his effort to overturn the 2020 election.
The appeal, set for oral arguments Monday, comes as Trump rages against the court-imposed restrictions. He and his congressional allies have sought to leverage the case as part of his reelection campaign.
