"ACLU Supports Trump in Battle Against Gag Order"

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) plans to file an amicus brief arguing that the limited gag order imposed on former President Donald Trump in his Washington, D.C., election interference case is unconstitutional. Federal prosecutors have requested the reinstatement of the gag order, claiming it is necessary to prevent Trump from intimidating witnesses. The ACLU argues that while Trump's statements have caused harm, he retains a First Amendment right to speak, and the order is too vague and broad. Trump has appealed the order, asserting it violates his free speech rights. In a separate case, Trump was fined $10,000 for violating a gag order in a civil trial brought by the New York Attorney General.
