Chutkan, who was appointed to the federal bench by former President Barack Obama, declined to impose restrictions on Trump’s ability to criticize Washington, D.C., or its residents. She also declined to restrict Trump’s claims that the prosecution is part of a political vendetta on the part of the Biden administration.
While Lauro insisted that Trump had complied fully with all existing orders in the case, he also seemed to warn the judge that she should not impose a gag order without thinking through the potential consequences. “Is your honor going to put President Trump in jail?”
Lauro asked bluntly at one point, calling it one of many questions posed by the “can of worms” created by the prosecution’s request.
The judge’s ruling followed a two-hour-long hearing in which she repeatedly sparred with Trump attorney John Lauro about the scope of any potential gag order and about the impact of Trump’s earlier provocative statements about potential witnesses and other participants in both the D.C. election subversion case and Trump’s other cases.
Lauro said early in the hearing that Trump would immediately appeal any order similar to the one prosecutors had requested. And on Monday afternoon, in a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump confirmed his intention to appeal. A Trump spokesperson called the gag order “an absolute abomination.”

Even Lauro admitted that Trump was saying things most defendants would not get away with saying.

The courts have long established that judges can issue gag orders to maintain order in their court.

Confirmation is coming out that Meadows was granted immunity in exchange for his testimony. He's been questioned at least three times by investigators this year, during which he admitted that he knew the was no widescale voting fraud in 2020 and that on numerous occasions conveyed to Trump he had lost.

I don’t think Mark Meadows would lie about the Rigged and Stollen 2020 Presidential Election merely for getting IMMUNITY against Prosecution (PERSECUTION!) by Deranged Prosecutor, Jack Smith.
BUT, when you really think about it, after being hounded like a dog for three years, told you’ll be going to jail for the rest of your life, your money and your family will be forever gone, and we’re not at all interested in exposing those that did the RIGGING — If you say BAD THINGS about that terrible “MONSTER,” DONALD J. TRUMP, we won’t put you in prison, you can keep your family and your wealth, and, perhaps, if you can make up some really horrible “STUFF” a out him, we may very well erect a statue of you in the middle of our decaying and now very violent Capital, Washington, D.C..
Some people would make that deal, but they are weaklings and cowards, and so bad for the future our Failing Nation.
I don’t think that Mark Meadows is one of them, but who really knows?
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
