The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case in Washington on Sunday reimposed a narrow gag order barring him from making public comments targeting prosecutors, court staff and potential witnesses.
But Chutkan agreed to reinstate the order after prosecutors cited Trump’s recent social media comments about his former chief of staff they said represented an attempt to influence and intimidate a likely witness in the case. Trump’s lawyers have said they will seek an emergency stay of the order from the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The defence has said Trump is entitled to criticise prosecutors and “speak truth to oppression”.
