The Judge in Trump’s January 6th case issued a narrow gag order today.
A federal judge has barred Donald Trump from attacking witnesses, prosecutors and court staff involved in his Washington, D.C., criminal case, imposing a gag order that sharply escalates the tension between Trump’s 2024 bid for the presidency and the realities of his status as a criminal defendant.
“First Amendment protections yield to the administration of justice and to the protection of witnesses,” Judge Tanya Chutkan said Monday as she issued the gag order. “His presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify … public servants who are simply doing their job.”
She didn’t mention herself specifically so I guess Trump does feel that he has carte blanche to vilify her:

Here he is also being very presidential today. And they loved him.
