Trump’s lawyer indicated that his team would fight against what they refer to as an effort to silence Trump as he seeks another term in office. Now, an appeals court on Friday has paused the implementation of the order, which could scuttle a clear effort to use the court system to hamper Trump on the campaign trail.
An appeals court Friday ordered an administrative stay of a gag order barring former President Trump from targeting witnesses and the prosecutors in his federal election interference case, temporarily pausing its implementation ahead of further legal battles.
The order from the D.C. Circuit court of appeals also expedites the case.
The decision tees up a similar legal battle already litigated in a lower court, where Judge Tanya Chutkan determined the threats and harassment resulting from Trump’s social media taunts posed danger to the case and his subjects, barring him from speech that would “target” those involved in the case.
Now, the panel is giving Trump until Tuesday to make his case as to why the judge’s order should remain on hold throughout the course of his appeal.
The former president’s attorneys insist that Chutkan’s gag order infringes on his First Amendment rights and could impede his efforts in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
