Trump Gag Order Lifted by D.C. Appeals Court

Donald Trump has been released, at least for now, from a limited gag order in the federal prosecution alleging that he conspired to overturn the 2020 election results.

At the urging of Trump’s lawyers, a federal appeals court agreed Friday to temporarily lift the gag order while the former president challenges restrictions on what he can say about prosecutors, potential witnesses and court staff involved in the criminal case. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit set an expedited briefing schedule, with an oral argument scheduled for Nov. 20 before a three-judge panel.
