WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court temporarily lifted a gag order on Donald Trump in his 2020 election interference case in Washington on Friday — the latest twist in the legal fight over the restrictions on the former president’s speech.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit decision puts a hold on the limited gag order to give the judges time to consider Trump’s request for a longer pause on the restrictions while his appeals play out. The appeals court said the temporary pause “should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits” of Trump’s bid.

It should be a permanent injunction on the gag order.

The entire Judiciary is making a case for its severe curtailment due to Third World abuse of power.

Somebody needs to gag that Jamaican bimbo “refugee”. She has no business trying to throw an American president in jail. She’s the one that needs to be in prison.

IIRC the only step left after this court is SCOTUS.

Aren’t gag orders supposed to protect the accused, not the prosecution?

I agree that if the accused violates the gag order (thereby tainting the jury pool), the prosecution should be able to retaliate in like manner.

This Appeals Court will rule with the corrupt Judge; hope then it goes straight up to SCOTUS, but I don’t trust them further than I can throw them.

If the Gomers Of Politics didn't consist of a majority of faceless drones,
the party would have a chance of winning the presidency in '24.

There's more chance of success in herding cats than
the Gomers Of Politics coalescing behind Mr. Trump.

How about the prosecutor leaking information to the media to taint the jury pool?

I don’t think that is true. I think the purpose is usually to prevent the parties from trying their case in public.
