Lawless Obama-appointed Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a gag order against President Trump on Monday. This order restricts President Trump from making public statements about Special Counsel Jack Smith, court witnesses, and others.
Many view this as a concerning display of lawlessness, aimed at silencing President Trump while Jack Smith continues to illegally leak information to the media on a regular basis.
President Trump and his team are understandably furious over the gag order.
As the 2024 election approaches, many view this as an assault on President Trump’s freedom of speech.

These people are straight up TYRANTS
The Supreme Court needs to get involved and fix this ASAP
CBS News reported:
The federal judge overseeing the case against former President Donald Trump related to the 2020 election agreed Monday to impose some limitations on what he can say publicly about the case, restricting the former president and his attorneys from making inflammatory statements targeting special counsel Jack Smith, his staff, court personnel, and possible witnesses who may testify in the proceedings.
The decision from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan followed a lengthy hearing in federal court in Washington, D.C., regarding a request from Smith and his team to limit what Trump can say about the case brought against him by the Justice Department.
Chutkan issued a split ruling, granting the Justice Department’s requests for restrictions on the specific statements by the former president that she said could jeopardize the trial.
“This is not about whether I like the language Mr. Trump uses. This is about language that presents a danger to the administration of justice,” the judge said.

Judge Chutkan, with her anti-constitutional and unprecedented gag order and political performance in court today, has further demonstrated her anti-Trump bias. https://t.co/w1jutsxd3Y
