Choose imposes partial gag order on Trump. What occurs when he ignores it?
U.S. District Choose Tanya Chutkan imposed a partial gag order on Donald Trump Monday, prohibiting him from focusing on prosecutors, courtroom workers, and witnesses (together with potential ones)—one thing Trump has commonly performed thus far. The order permits Trump to say the prosecution is politically motivated and there’s little doubt he’ll be hammering away at this angle in media and marketing campaign stops.
Prosecutor Molly Gaston tried to make the case that Trump wasn’t “above the regulation.” Chutkan responded by mentioning that the First Modification doesn’t permit Trump to threaten “people who find themselves merely doing their jobs.” She continued, “We’re not speaking about censorship right here. We’re speaking restrictions to make sure there’s a truthful administration of justice on this case.” Trump’s attorneys claimed the gag order was a “determined effort at censorship.”
The massive query now could be, what’s going to Chutkan do about it when Trump inevitably violates the order?
Jim Jordan searches for 217 votes
Reps. Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise each didn’t get the magic 217 votes wanted to remain or develop into speaker, respectively. Far-right Rep. Jim Jordan faces opposition from Republican Home moderates unwilling to reward the Freedom Caucus for ousting McCarthy. Nonetheless, nobody ought to ever rely on spineless Republican “moderates” for something, and the Trump-backed Jordan has been bullying his way forward.
In the meantime, some Democrats are prepared to bail out Republicans … for a value.
