A Washington, D.C., appeals court is hearing arguments regarding Trump's limited gag order in his federal election interference case.
New York Appeals Judge David Friedman has suspended a gag order on Donald Trump in his civil fraud trial.
The judges hearing the case include two appointees of President Barack Obama and one appointee of President Joe Biden.
The trial resulted from Attorney General Letitia James suing Trump, his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr., and their namesake corporation for $250 million.
Former President Donald Trump is currently embroiled in a legal battle over a gag order in his civil fraud trial. The gag order, initially imposed by trial judge Arthur Engoron, was suspended by New York Appeals Judge David Friedman. Engoron had previously fined Trump $15,000 for violating the gag order against commenting on his chief law clerk, Allison Greenfield.
The trial is a result of a lawsuit filed by Attorney General Letitia James against Trump, his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr., and their namesake corporation for $250 million. Engoron has already ruled that they committed fraud for years by overvaluing real-estate properties for more favorable loans, and he is now considering what damages to impose.
In a separate case, a Washington, D.C., appeals court is hearing arguments regarding Trump's limited gag order in his federal election interference case. The gag order, issued by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, prohibits Trump from making or reposting statements publicly targeting special counsel Jack Smith and his staff, as well as the judge's staff and other D.C. district court personnel.
The gag order is one of multiple contentious issues being argued ahead of the landmark March 2024 trial. Defense lawyers are also trying to get the case dismissed by arguing that Trump, as a former president, is immune from prosecution and protected by the First Amendment from being charged.
