TL;DR Summary

The U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a gag order limiting Donald Trump's ability to influence witnesses and officials involved in the D.C. 2020 election interference prosecution. As Trump's lawyers appeal to the Supreme Court, this presents an opportunity for the justices to restore public trust and counter the perception of the court as a political body. The court can either deny Trump's motion for review or issue a per curiam opinion affirming the gag order. The positions taken by the three justices appointed by Trump will be crucial. Denying review or affirming the gag order would limit the harm caused by Trump's behavior and reaffirm the rule of law.
