Former President Donald Trump has been placed under a gag order by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan.
This will effectively ban him from making any comments “publicly targeting” the judge and “any other court personnel.”
Known as a far-left judge, former President Barack Obama appointed both Chutkan and her husband, Peter Krauthamer, to highly sought-after judgeships in Washington, DC. (Trending: Major Women’s Race Won By Two Men)

The order states that he is “absolutely prohibited as well” from making public remarks regarding their families.
Trump’s attorney John Lauro has made it clear they will appeal the order, accusing it of hindering free speech.
The former president “can argue that this prosecution is politically motivated,” Chutkan stated, but cannot “vilify and implicitly encourage violence against public servants who are simply doing their jobs.”
Raise your hand if you think Obama-appointed Judge Chutkan is a biased disgrace to the judiciary who should recuse herself from Trump's case at once 🙋♂️ pic.twitter.com/E4aUEUMMu8

The controversial judge has deep family ties to some of the most influential Marxists in Jamaica.
In 1962, Chutkan’s grandfather, Frank Hill, and great uncle, Ken Hill, played a key role in founding Jamaica’s Marxist group called the People’s National Party (PNP).
In recent years, Chutkan has been using her power to hand out harsh sentences to January 6 defendants. She is known for punishing Trump supporters more severely than her peers on the federal bench. (Trending: Ilhan Omar Caught In Major Lie)
During the sentencing of a January 6 defendant, Chutkan complained to the court that Trump “remains free to this day.” Many Americans are demanding that Chutkan recuse herself from the case given her obvious bias and political motivation.
It is deeply concerning that a United States District Court judge would exhibit such blatant political bias from the bench.

As the case begins, prosecutor Jack Smith proposed a trial date of Jan. 2, 2024, which is just ahead of the Republican primary elections.
Experts say Smith is intentionally causing election interference on Biden’s behalf as Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican Party in 2024.
Smith is proposing a date just two weeks ahead of the important Iowa caucus for the Republican presidential nomination. In response, lawyers for Trump proposed April 2026 as the date to start the trial in the case involving his alleged efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election. This new date would be long after the 2024 election.
Trump’s lawyers rejected special counsel Jack Smith’s proposed date of Jan. 2, 2024, arguing that he “seeks a trial calendar more rapid than most no-document misdemeanors, requesting just four months from the beginning of discovery to jury selection.”

“The government’s objective is clear: to deny President Trump and his counsel a fair ability to prepare for trial. The Court should deny the government’s request,” the lawyers wrote. “The public interest lies in justice and fair trial, not a rush to judgment.”
“This case is not just complex or unusual. It is terra incognita,” the lawyers wrote. “No president has ever been charged with a crime for conduct committed while in office. No major party presidential candidate has ever been charged while in the middle of a campaign—and certainly not by a Justice Department serving his opponent.”
“These and numerous other issues will be questions of first impression, requiring significant time for the parties to consider and brief, and for the Court to resolve.”
Smith’s office have put together 11.5 million pages of discovery. “To put 11.5 million pages in some perspective, we began downloading the government’s initial production on August 13, 2023. Two days later, it was still downloading,” they wrote. “Nonetheless, even assuming we could begin reviewing the documents today, we would need to proceed at a pace of 99,762 pages per day to finish the government’s initial production by its proposed date for jury selection,” they continued. “That is the entirety of Tolstoy’s War and Peace, cover to cover, 78 times a day, every day, from now until jury selection.”
