Judge Tanya Chutkan temporarily lifts gag order on Trump in 2020 election interference case

[excalibur]

I believe she realizes that on this issue Trump will prevail so she's attempting to save face. We'll know more after Jack Smith files his papers.

​

The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case in Washington agreed Friday to temporarily lift her narrow gag order. The ruling gives Trump’s lawyers time to prove why the former president’s comments should not be restricted as the case heads toward trial.​

​

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said the gag order would remain on hold — for now — while she considers Trump’s bid to speak freely about the case as he challenges the restrictions in higher courts.​

​

The gag order Chutkan issued Monday barred him from making public statements targeting prosecutors, court staff and potential witnesses. It’s the most serious restriction a court has placed on Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric, which has become a centerpiece of his grievance-filled campaign to return to the White House.​

​

Trump’s lawyers, who quickly appealed the ruling to the D.C. Circuit Court, wrote in court papers Friday that the gag order should be lifted while his legal challenges play out, calling the restrictions “egregious and intolerable.” They argued neither the judge nor prosecutors have “come close” to justifying the order, adding that the former president “has not unlawfully threatened or harassed anyone.”​

​

“By restricting President Trump’s speech, the Gag Order eviscerates the rights of his audiences, including hundreds of millions of American citizens who the Court now forbids from listening to President Trump’s thoughts on important issues,” the defense wrote.​

​

Chutkan ordered special counsel Jack Smith’s team to file by Wednesday any opposition to Trump’s bid for a longer pause on the gag order pending appeal.​

oh the irony

 

[struth]

The goal of the xiden admin and the demafasict localities, has been to keep trump from running…that’s it…the gag orders are the prime example of their weapons to undermine his political campaign

This judge has at least started to wake to the idea she’s being used as a pawn to undermine the Constitution

[wamose]

Chutkan is obviously a big proponent of headhunter justice. Where the hell are we coming up with turds like this. MAGA

 

[Curried Goats]

You people are the biggest of morons. Chutkan, as a former public defender, is being fair and impartial. She suspended her order while Trump appeals it. If the appellate court sides with her, which is likely, she'll reinstate it and Trump will have less leeway to complain if and when he violates it and she has to slap him with penalties.

What's really amazing is having kangaroo investigations with kangaroo indictments in kangaroo courts and refusing to let the accused even defend himself. We saw that with the E Jean Carroll civil suit. The judge let the prosecution do just about anything they wanted and denied many defense requests.

 

[Seymour Flops]

The Democrat dream of Trump going to jail for contempt dies an ignoble death.

It sounds like: give him some rope and see what happens.

A federal judge reimposes a limited gag order in Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case

The federal judge who reimposed a narrow gag order on Donald Trump in his 2020 election interference case in Washington says one of his social media posts about ex-chief of staff Mark Meadows constituted an “attack.”

apnews.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case in Washington has reimposed a narrow gag order barring him from making public comments targeting prosecutors, court staff and potential witnesses.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is presiding over the federal case charging Trump with plotting to overturn his 2020 election loss. She had temporarily lifted the gag order as she considered the Republican former president’s request to keep it on hold while he challenges the restrictions on his speech in higher courts.

But Chutkan on Sunday agreed to reinstate the order after prosecutors cited Trump’s recent social media comments about his former chief of staff Mark Meadows that they said represented an attempt to influence and intimidate a likely witness in the case.
