Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann pointed out a “chilling” aspect of Donald Trump‘s recent attempt to appeal a gag order relating to his 2020 election interference case.
What Happened: The order, issued by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, temporarily lifted for an assessment of Trump’s appeal, prevents the former president from publicly criticizing prosecutors, court staff, and potential witnesses, HuffPost reported. The order was reinstated late Sunday following more comments from Trump.
