Judge Reinstates Gag Order on Trump in Federal Election Subversion Case
A federal judge has reinstated a gag order against former President Donald Trump, rejecting his request to set aside limits on his public statements while he pursues an appeal. The judge initially imposed the gag order earlier this month, citing Trump's inflammatory attacks on prosecutors, court officials, and witnesses as a threat to the case and people's safety. The details of the ruling were not immediately available due to a court system outage. This order is separate from another one issued by a judge in New York, where Trump has been fined twice for violating a directive to cease public statements about court staff.
