Judge Tanya S. Chutkan is hearing arguments on the special counsel’s request to narrowly limit what Donald Trump can say about his election interference case in D.C.
Judge Tanya S. Chutkan is imposing a gag order on former president Donald Trump in advance of his election interference trial, as requested by special counsel Jack Smith. She called it “false” that the First Amendment prohibits such restrictions, as suggested by defense attorney John Lauro. She declined to restrict any comments disparaging the city of Washington, D.C., the Biden administration and the Justice Department as biased or politically motivated.
But she is prohibiting all parties from statements “publicly targeting” the special counsel, his staff, her staff or “any other court personnel.” Statements about their families are “absolutely prohibited as well.” He “certainly can argue that this prosecution is politically motivated,” she said, but he cannot call the prosecutor “a thug” or “vilify and implicitly encourage violence against public servants who are simply doing their jobs.
