Federal prosecutors and lawyers for former President Donald Trump are heading to court to argue over a proposed gag order aimed at reining in his diatribes on…
Federal prosecutors and lawyers for Donald Trump will appear at the U.S. District Court in D.C.A federal prosecutor on Monday pressed the judge overseeing Donald Trump's election interference case in Washington to impose a gag order aimed at reining in the former president's diatribes against likely witnesses and others, saying the restrictions would not impact his abilities to campaign.
The gag order proposal underscores the unprecedented complexities of prosecuting the GOP presidential primary front-runner, who has made the line of attack central to his campaign. And it presents the biggest test yet for Chutkan, who must balance Trump’s First Amendment right to defend himself publicly with the need to protect the integrity of the case.
It’s unclear whether Chutkan will issue a ruling on Monday. Chutkan has said Trump does not have to attend the hearing.
