Donald Trump has been given a gag order in the election interference case – 14 Twitter verdicts
In an effort to put an end to Donald Trump‘s public incendiary and inaccurate criticism of court officials and witnesses, Judge Tanya Chutkan has imposed a narrow gag order in relation to the case in which he is accused of interference in the 2020 election.
BREAKING: Judge Tanya Chutkan is imposing a partial gag order on Donald Trump.
Trump cannot attack Jack Smith, his staff or family, nor can he attack court staff or witnesses. He can attack Mike Pence, but he can't talk about Pence's role in the events that involve this case.

Trump prepared for the hearing exactly how you’d expect.
A Trump twofer. With a gag order staring him in the face, Trump attacks both Special Counsel Jack Smith and Judge Tanya Chutkan, which endangers their lives among his deranged supporters. Skip the gag order for Trump…go right to incarceration until trial. pic.twitter.com/fSrcUY1MPl

His reaction was equally predictable. He yelled “Witch hunt!”
Good luck with that. Idiot. pic.twitter.com/IKhRCfWMds

Then the man who recently boasted that his properties are worth much more than anyone knows sent out begging letters.

These say it all – much like Donald Trump is quite likely to do.

At this point, it seems like Trump is trying to get gagged so he can fundraise off of being gagged. https://t.co/rys08YqFFc

‘If I can’t attack the judge, the prosecutors, the prosecutor’s team, the court staff, or any current or potential witnesses, what the hell AM I supposed to talk about while campaigning for President of the United States of America? Healthcare?!?’

Trump will simply have his surrogates and offspring take over most of the threats and intimidation now.

This election interference is a violation of the 1st amendment, which states that patriots can weaponize their cult, due to exemption from all rules or court orders, as long as they run for president. #PatriotPass

Judge Chutkan: "I am issuing a gag order to stop Donald Trump from intimidating witnesses, defaming the prosecution, and harassing the court—and to stop Lara Trump from ever, ever, ever, ever ‘singing’ again. It is so ordered.”

Trump’s lawyers: Please don’t issue a gag order.
Judge Chutkan: Tough shit.
Trump’s lawyers: Please move his trial to 2026.
Judge Chutkan: Tough shit.
So, things are going really well.

Naturally, MAGA thinks their Orange God should be able to threaten, intimidate and harass the judge, court personnel, prosecutors and their families, and witness. Because without threats and intimidation, Trump is nothing. pic.twitter.com/RPT6KZXZRJ

Trump lawyers just argued that the orders already in place designed to curtail Trump’s verbal & social media attacks on those associated with his court cases “are working.”
Judge Chutkan: ‘HAHA. Nice try.’

Judge Chutkan to Trump: Keep Jack Smith's name out of your f***ing mouth.

We really wish this had happened.
When Judge Chutkan gags Donald Trump today, possible for her to sing some Run-D.M.C.?

At a rally in Iowa, Trump had this to say about the gag order.
