DC Circuit Judge Tanya Chutkan on Monday slapped disgraced former President Trump with a gag order prohibiting Donald from issuing any statements about herself, her staff, special counsel Jack Smith, and any potential witnesses in the post-2020 election coup attempt case against him, saying that running for president again does not allow him to conduct a “public smear campaign.”
Trump is free to rip on DC and the Biden Administration (and Mike Pence because he’s supposedly running a presidential primary campaign against Trump), but that’s going to be cold comfort to him and his deranged fanboys who are going to absolutely lose their shit over this order. Chutkan did not mention any possible sanctions on Trump if he violates the order before ending the hearing.
