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 doesn’t help Trump to smack-talk the guy who has vicegrips on Trumps nutz right now
I hope he doesn’t push his luck
Some things even a donkey won’t do.
Bail would not be revoked, he would just be fined for each occurrence.
Judge Sh*tcan is an unAmerican POS. President Trump should hire a Trump impersonator to stand next to him and say whatever Trump wants saiid.
Trump loses every motion and they win every motion. This has never been about the law, fairness or justice
The Jamaican “judgey” doesn’t need an order. She could make a buzzard gag.
You’re a coward. If it were up to people like you the country would already be lost foe good.
The gag order should be imposed on both sides, BOTH sides should NOT be allowed to discuss the case PERIOD..if there is ANY leaks to the press, I dont care which press, the case should be dismissed heck that is what I would do
How is this constitutional?
Should anyone be dragged into the street?
Well this should generate another $10M or so in donations to Trump.
Chutkan is DOJ’s whore and will do whatever the DOJ asks. She is the farthest thing from being a true judge. She is a JINO, judge in name only.
She be da Rasta Judge.
Gotta spliff in her mouth, a scowl on her face, and she say gag da crackuh!
I didn’t like Chuka Khan as the “Queen of Funk”. I definitely don’t like her as a Judge.
To He$$ with that gag order.
I’m sure Trump’s response to this will be splendiferous!
This judge should be hit with a writ of prohibition for obviously violating the free speech rights of a major presidential candidate. Otherwise, political free speech is dead in the U.S.
I found this: https://law.yale.edu/mfia/case-disclosed/when-silence-isnt-golden-how-gag-orders-can-evade-first-amendment-protections
just another in a long and growing list of ways any verdict will be appealed for the next 20 years or until Trump is long dead and gone.
You have no idea how politics or law works. None.
