A federal judge has reinstated a limited gag order on former President Donald Trump in his 2020 presidential election subversion case. An hour after the news emerged, Trump called the judge “Trump hating”. The gag order “will put me at a disadvantage against my prosecutorial and political opponents”, he said in a post on his Truth Social social media account. Trump’s legal team had also asked Judge Chutkan to recuse herself from the case, arguing past comments she had made created a perception of bias against him. The former president is also under a gag order in a separate ongoing civil fraud trial in New York.
