Obama Judge Chutkan Laughs at Trump’s Lawyers, Says Trump Doesn’t Have “Unfettered First Amendment Rights”
Judge Tanya Chutkan on Monday imposed a gag order on Trump in the middle of a presidential election.
Last month Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion to gag Trump.
“The need for the proposed order is further evidenced by a review of the defendant’s prejudicial statements in the weeks since the Government initially filed its motion on September 15,” Jack Smith’s prosecutors wrote in the court filing reviewed by this reporter.
Smith’s prosecutors said Trump waged “a sustained campaign of prejudicial public statements regarding witnesses, the Court, the District, and prosecutors.”
Judge Tanya Chutkan held a hearing on Monday morning on Jack Smith’s proposed gag order and used it as an opportunity to attack Trump.
