House Republicans Introduce 'Let Trump Speak Act' to Limit Judicial Gag Orders
The bill aims to protect defendants' speech rights, responding to gag orders imposed on Donald Trump during his New York trial.
- Rep. Andy Ogles leads the legislation, supported by 14 GOP House members.
- The bill restricts judges from issuing gag orders except in specific circumstances.
- Trump's gag orders prevent him from speaking about individuals involved in his criminal case.
