The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has denied former President Donald Trump’s request to lift or revisit a gag order put in place by Judge Tanya Chutkan in a federal election interference case.
The case is designed to prevent him from commenting about witnesses and courtroom staff.
The Supreme Court is now Trump’s only remaining venue to challenge the gag order.
Additionally, the Supreme Court could be the final lifeline for Trump regarding his ability to defy Chutkan’s attempts to keep him from attacking those who appear in her courtroom.
The case brought by Smith is on hold until the Supreme Court issues a ruling on whether presidential immunity protects Trump from prosecution stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Trump is expected to take the witness stand in the second civil defamation trial brought by Carroll.
The trial is expected to conclude this week, and it remains uncertain whether Trump will take the stand in his own defense.
