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.
