A federal appeals court in Washington on Tuesday dismissed Donald Trump's plea to reconsider his appeal against a gag order in the criminal case related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. This marks the latest setback for the former president who is restricted from publicly criticizing certain individuals involved in the legal matter. The only option he has left available if he wants to continue fighting the gag order is to appeal to the Supreme Court.
