"Trump's Lawyer's 'Embarrassing' Move Exposes Election Subversion Case"

Former President Donald Trump's lawyer, John Lauro, has been informed that he must apply to join the bar of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit before the court can accept an appeal against Trump's recently imposed gag order. The court's clerks sent a letter to Lauro stating that filings cannot be accepted from attorneys who are not members of the court's bar. Lauro and fellow Trump attorney Todd Blanche had filed notice to appeal a narrow gag order imposed on Trump by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan. The news has circulated on social media, with some users mocking Lauro, while others noted that the process of joining the court's bar is not complicated.
