Former President Donald Trump has criticized U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan for issuing a gag order in the federal 2020 election interference trial. Trump claims the order is unconstitutional and a result of Joe Biden losing the election. The order restricts Trump's ability to publicly attack prosecutors, witnesses, and court staff involved in the case. It limits his use of social media and public events to comment on the trial. Judge Chutkan has criticized Trump for attacking her and highlighted that as he is facing criminal charges, he cannot respond to all criticisms that may impact witnesses. Trump is the first former president to face state or federal charges related to his actions in overturning the 2020 election and his involvement in the January 6 Capitol attack.
