Judge temporarily lifts narrow gag order on Trump in 2020 election interference case

Published Sat, 16 Nov 2024 11:20:17 GMT

The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case in Washington agreed Friday to temporarily lift her narrow gag order. The ruling gives Trump’s lawyers time to prove why the former president’s comments should not be restricted as the case heads toward trial.U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said the gag order would remain on hold — for now — while she considers Trump’s bid to speak freely about the case as he challenges the restrictions in higher courts. The gag order Chutkan issued Monday barred him from making public statements targeting prosecutors, court staff and potential witnesses. It’s the most serious restriction a court has placed on Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric, which has become a centerpiece of his grievance-filled campaign to return to the White House. Trump’s lawyers, who quickly appealed the ruling to the D.C. Circuit Court, wrote in court papers Friday that the gag order should be lifted while his legal challenges play out, calling t...

Alexander practiced on a limited basis Thursday but was held out Friday and listed as questionable. He previously missed two games with the back problem.Linebacker De’Vondre Campbell was listed as doubtful and likely will miss a third straight game with an ankle injury.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Brock Purdy finds himself in an usual spot.For the first time in his short NFL career, Purdy will need to bounce back from a poor performance and a loss when the San Francisco 49ers visit the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night.Purdy had won his first 10 career regular-season starts before struggling last week in a 19-17 loss at Cleveland. He said it was tough to deal with the defeat for a couple of days, but once the team returned to practice on Thursday it was easy to move on to the game against the Vikings. “It’s not like college where you lose a game and every game in college is so huge and crucial,” he said Friday. “It is in the NFL, but that one game can determine your season in college. With this, we lost but we have a lot to look forward to.”Purdy had faced little adversity since taking over as San Francisco’s quarterback late last season. He went 5-0 as a starter to end that regular season and then won his first two playoff games.He injured hi...
