The same judge putting nonviolent J6 defendants in gulags while hissing her displeasure that Donald Trump “remains free to this day,” decided Monday that she can shut him up while on the 2024 campaign trail. Gag orders are sometimes placed on cases, but this has never happened to a presidential candidate in the annals of the criminal justice.
Trump reacted on his Truth Social account by putting up economic tables comparing his presidency to Joe Biden’s policies.
The hearing in Judge Tanya S. Chutkan’s D.C. U.S. District Courtroom over whether to at least partially gag Donald Trump was at times contentious and at other times surreal and Kafkaesque. Chutkan ruled that Trump could not post or repost “attacks against Special Counsel, staff, court staff or personnel” as well as prohibited statements about witnesses or expert witnesses.
GAG ORDER
I told you. Here it is. Judge Chutkan has now put a Gag Order on Harry Hezbollah, America's Terrorist-In-Chief. Trump can't comment (incl postings) targeting Jack Smith, the court (= judge) or court staff, or witnesses
