TL;DR Summary

Prosecutors are seeking a partial gag order against former President Donald Trump in his criminal trial for alleged election interference, arguing that his inflammatory statements and claims of fraud undermine the proceedings and threaten to intimidate witnesses and taint the jury pool. The U.S. Justice Department lawyers have proposed a limited gag order that would cover Trump and all attorneys in the case, barring out-of-court statements that could prejudice the case. Trump's attorney is expected to fight against the imposition of any gag order, calling it an "unconstitutional prior restraint."
