Trump’s gag order in Jack Smith’s January 6th case, which was upheld by three appellate judges last year, has just been allowed to stand by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Appellate court declined Trump’s appeal, which leaves the earlier decision in tact.

However now Trump can appeal to the Supreme Court to get the gag order lifted.

Here’s the news via CNN:

The federal appeals court in Washington, DC, declined to rehear arguments over whether former President Donald Trump can be prohibited from talking about witnesses and court staff while he awaits trial in the special counsel’s January 6 criminal case.

Trump has unsuccessfully tried to challenge the gag order placed on him by Judge Tanya Chutkan late last year through appeals.

The 11 judges from the DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday declined to touch the case after a three-judge panel previously upheld the gag order against Trump. There were no statements or dissents made by any of the judges.

Trump can appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court, and his attorneys have previously indicated that they would appeal the matter to the nation’s highest court if necessary.

I’m sure Trump will make the appeal to the Supreme Court, but who knows if it will go his way given the decisions coming out of the court nowadays.
