A federal judge in Washington has issued a partial gag order on former President Donald Trump in the case of alleged election interference. The order, issued by U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan, bars Trump from making statements targeting prosecutors, possible witnesses, and court staff or personnel in order to maintain public confidence in the court system and protect the integrity of the proceedings. The order does not restrict Trump from making statements about Washington, D.C. and its residence, nor from criticizing the government or the Justice Department generally. The outcome of the case is still pending.
