Prosecutors cite Trump's post about Mark Meadows in bid to reinstate gag order - Roll Call

The Justice Department pointed to Donald Trump’s recent comments about former White House Chief of Staff and House member Mark Meadows on Wednesday as one of the chief reasons to reinstate a gag order on the former president.

In a filing in the Washington case where Trump faces federal charges tied to his effort to overturn the 2020 election, prosecutors said a pause in the gag order already gave Trump the chance to make a slew of commentary about prosecutors and witnesses in the case, including Meadows.

Judge Tanya S. Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia had imposed the partial gag order on Trump last week because of months of statements disparaging prosecutors and potential witnesses in the case, but she paused that order temporarily while Trump contemplates an appeal.
