The day after the federal judge overseeing\u00a0Donald Trump’s election interference case agreed to a \u201cnarrow” gag order the former President’s team is seeking an appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports from The Hill<\/a>, Trump\u2019s legal team is expected to challenge the order on First Amendment grounds, as the former president has complained the order unfairly restricts his freedom of speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, Judge\u00a0Tanya Chutkan issued the ruling barring the former President from targeting witnesses, prosecutors, court staff and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judge\u00a0Tanya Chutkan\u00a0said Trump’s status as a candidate did not give him authority to level a \u201csmear campaign\u201d against those involved in the case, saying that \u201c1st amendment\u00a0protections yield to the administration of justice and to the protection of witnesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the hearing, Chutkan particularly raised concerns over Trump’s statements calling special counsel Jack Smith a deranged thug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI cannot imagine any other criminal case where a defendant is allowed to call a prosecutor deranged or a thug,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will not permit it here simply because the defendant is running a political campaign,\u201d Chutkan added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A Trump campaign spokesperson connected the decision to President Biden immediately after the ruling was made, who had no role in the decision or in Trump’s court cases, and called the ruling \u201can absolute abomination and another partisan knife stuck in the heart of our Democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Trump will continue to fight for our Constitution, the American people’s right to support him, and to keep our country free of the chains of weaponized and targeted\u00a0law enforcement,\u201d the spokesperson said in a statement shared by the campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
