"Federal Appeals Court Upholds Gag Order in Trump January 6 Case"

A federal appeals court rejected Donald Trump's request for a do-over on a gag order imposed on him in his federal election interference case, upholding the decision to prohibit public criticism of government lawyers and court staff. Trump's attempts to litigate the ground rules for his upcoming trial have been unsuccessful, as he faces charges of trying to overturn President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory. Despite his pleas of not guilty in four pending criminal cases, Trump remains the leading Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election.
