Under binding Supreme Court precedent, this court “must take such steps by rule and regulation that will protect [its] processes from prejudicial outside interferences.” Sheppard v. Maxwell, 384 U.S. 333, 363 (1966).

Neither Pelosi or Schiff are criminal defendants in an ongoing criminal prosecution. When Trump was arraigned and remanded into his own custody before trial it came with it certain stipulations like not running his mouth.
