Washington — The federal judge in Washington overseeing the case against former President Donald Trump related to the 2020 election agreed Monday to impose some limitations on what he can say publicly about the case, restricting the former president and his attorneys making statements that target special counsel Jack Smith, his staff, court personnel, and possible witnesses who may testify in the proceedings.

The decision from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan followed a lengthy hearing in federal court in Washington, D.C., regarding a request from Smith and his team to limit what Trump can say about the case brought against him by the Justice Department.

Prosecutors asked D.C. District Judge Tanya Chutkan last month to impose a "narrowly tailored" order to prevent the former president from making "extrajudicial statements that present a serious and substantial danger of materially prejudicing this case."

It’s a two-party system. But it’s rapidly becoming illegal for one of those parties to actually campaign.

Ignoring the gag order would land Trump in jail with his bail revoked. Is that what you really want?

Trump has branded the corrupt Smith and the biased judge already. They must be feeling the heat.

black women are often used as the jihadis and suicide bombers of the leftist deep-state caliphate.

No limitation on what Smith and the DC machine can leak selectively for Press Talking Points, right?

HOW can ANY non-Deep State person expect a fair trial in DC, at all?

Trump’s lawyers should file a motion to prevent Smith’s office from leaks revealing unproven accusations in response as well as a motion to remove the case to a different venue since Smith has already prejudiced potential jurors with selected leaks. You can’t prejudice potential jurors by the prosecution in the press and then gag a response from the defense. What’s fair about that?

Trump needs to bring lawsuits against every one of these so-called Feral “judges” for harassment. Especially the Jamaican skank.

The only thing these black female Democrat judges are qualified to do is ride the underside of a male donkey in Juarez in a peep show.

Oh, the blatant hypocrisy is over the top. The judge is committing blatant 2024 election interference while trying the defendant for 2022 election interference. How rich is that?

I’m plenty calm I’m just pointing out that ignoring judges is a risky strategy.
