Trump Issues Eight-Word Promise After Gag Order

Following U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan's decision to impose a partial gag order against Donald Trump in his federal election interference case, the former president issued an eight-word response.

Chutkan announced at the end of Monday's hearing that she would impose a "narrowly tailored" gag order against Trump in the federal election interference case at the request of prosecutors, who cited the former president's threatening comments about the key players in the courtroom as reason to restrict his speech on the case. The partial order bars Trump from making or posting any statements publicly targeting special counsel Jack Smith, his staff, as well as court staff and personnel in his case.

In an all-caps post to Truth Social, Trump shared that he would appeal the partial gag order.
