Donald Trump 'gag orders': Here's what he can't say

Donald Trump was issued a gag order in New York by Judge Engoron this week not to comment about his court staff—after the former president attacked a clerk on Truth Social.

In response, Engoron issued a gag order against Trump and his legal team, barring them from publicly discussing members of his staff. Violation of the order would result in"swift and meaningful sanctions," according to reporter Ana Cabrera. It was filed prior to providing Trump's defense team with a discovery of evidence that would be used against him in trial, which may contain personal information regarding the witnesses who spoke with prosecutors or may testify in court against Trump.

However, Chutkan did warn Trump that repeated"inflammatory" statements regarding his latest indictment could lead to a speedy trial in the 2020 election case. The former president's lawyers had asked for permission to establish a sensitive compartmented information facility"at or near" Mar-a-Lago, where they could view the classified documents the former president is accused of mishandling.
