The Trump gag order hearing could be the end of his kid-gloves
treatment
Trump 'does not have the right to say and do exactly what he pleases,'
Judge Chutkan says, issuing gag order
A federal judge on Monday issued a gag order on former President
Donald Trump, limiting what he can say about special counsel Jack
Smith's federal prosecution into his alleged attempt to subvert in the
2020 presidential election.
The order restricts Trump's ability to publicly target court
personnel, potential witnesses, or the special counsel and his staff.
The order did not impose restrictions on disparaging comments about
Washington, DC, - where the jury will take place - or certain comments
about the Justice Department at large, both of which the government
requested.
"This is not about whether I like the language Mr. Trump uses," Judge
Tanya Chutkan said. "This is about language that presents a danger to
the administration of justice."
"His presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify
public servants who are simply doing their jobs," the judge added.
Chutkan noted that any violation of her orders could result in
sanctions.
