Trump's Gag Order Upheld in Court Ruling, Faces Appeal

Former President Donald Trump received bad news in his Washington, D.C., election interference case as a key sentence in his gag order ruling indicated that the trial is set to proceed as scheduled in March 2024, despite his efforts to delay it. The ruling also stated that Trump may make public statements about special counsel Jack Smith but cannot target other prosecutors, court staff, or their family members if it interferes with the case. Trump and his legal team have filed an appeal seeking to overturn the rejection of their motion to have the case thrown out.
