On October 17, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a gag order limiting former President, now Defendant, Donald Trump and his attorneys from making statements that 鈥渢arget鈥� counsel or court personnel, or possible witnesses in the federal government鈥檚 case against Trump regarding the substance of their testimony. As the 老澳门开奖结果 and its Washington, D.C. affiliate argue in an amicus brief submitted to the case, this prohibition sweeps too broadly. Much that Trump has said has been patently false and caused great harm to countless individuals, and to the Republic itself. Some of his words and actions even led him to the criminal indictment in this case, which alleges grave wrongdoing in contempt of the peaceful transition of power. But Trump retains a First Amendment right to speak, and the rest of us have a right to hear his speech. To ensure that the court鈥檚 pursuit of the impartial administration of justice does not trench on Trump鈥檚 First Amendment right to speak, or the People鈥檚 First Amendment right to hear what he has to say, the district court鈥檚 October 17 gag order should be narrowed to cover only imminent threats that would impede a fair trial.
