CNN reports:
US District Judge Tanya Chutkan has put into writing her limited gag order that bars Donald Trump from making public statements about witnesses who might testify against him in the federal election subversion case as well as prosecutors and court staff.
Trump’s public statements pose “grave threats to the integrity of these proceedings,” especially those that could be construed as harassment and intimidation, Chutkan said in the order released Tuesday.
The written order expands upon what Chutkan articulated during Monday’s hearing about restricting what Trump can say while awaiting trial. The order specifies that it applies to all parties in the case and their counsel and also extends to others who may be directed to make public statements about the case on behalf of the parties, such as spokespeople for Trump.
