Former President Donald Trump is appealing the limited gag order imposed on him by a federal judge overseeing the 2020 election interference case.
The order from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan bars him from making statements attacking prosecutors, potential witnesses and court staff.Trump spoke to reporters before entering a New York courtroom Tuesday for his civil fraud trial and claimed the judge "took away my right to speak."
“We’re being railroaded. And I have other trials where we’re being railroaded. You saw yesterday where they took away my right to speak. I won’t be able to speak like I’m speaking to you,” he said. Special Counsel Jack Smith has accused Trump of trying to undermine the public's confidence in the justice system and taint the jury pool.
Chutkan added there would be no restrictions on statements criticizing the Justice Department generally or statements about Trump's belief that the case is politically motivated.Thefollows one that was imposed on Trump in his New York civil fraud trial by Judge Arthur Engoron. “Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, not appropriate, and I will not tolerate them,” Engoron said.They presented the argument to a judge by saying that the former president is immune from prosecution for the actions he took while in office.
