Trump's Gag Order Appeal Denied by D.C. Circuit Court

The decision paves the way for a potential Supreme Court challenge, with Trump's federal election interference trial set to begin on March 4.

Former President Donald Trump's request for a full court to review the appeal of his gag order was denied by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The gag order, imposed by District Judge Tanya Chutkan, prevents Trump from making statements that could intimidate trial witnesses or poison the jury pool in his federal election interference case.
The decision by the appeals court paves the way for a potential final challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court.
None of the 11 members of the appellate court, including Trump appointees, requested a vote on the matter.
Trump's trial for federal election interference is scheduled to begin on March 4.
