U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan on Sunday reimposed limits on former President Donald Trump ahead of his trial over his reported efforts to undermine the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Chutkan earlier this month imposed a limited gag order barring Trump from targeting court staff, the special counsel's staff and potential witnesses in the case but temporarily paused the order while the former president's legal team appealed. Chutkan reimposed the order on Sunday after special counsel Jack Smith's team raised concerns that Trump was using the pause to target witnesses like former chief of staff Mark Meadows in Truth Social posts.
