Challenge to Gag Order in January 6 Trial
During an oral argument before an appeals court panel, the issue of a gag order in the criminal trial related to the January 6 riot was discussed. The former president's legal team argued that the gag order infringed on his First Amendment rights. The judges seemed concerned about the over-broadness of the order and questioned whether there could be some speech that could be reasonably restricted. While the court appeared to think the current order was too broad, they indicated that a more specific gag order might be permissible.
