Donald Trump fined $10,000 for violating partial gag order
FOX News' Nate Foy reports on former President Donald Trump being fined a second time by the judge in his New York civil fraud case for violating a gag order on 'Special Report.'
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on Wednesday said it will file an amicus brief arguing the limited gag order imposed on former President Donald Trump in his Washington, D.C., election interference case is unconstitutional.
On the same day, federal prosecutors asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to reinstate the currently paused gag order, stating the order is necessary to prevent Trump from targeting witnesses.
Trump "has a demonstrated history of using inflammatory language to target certain individuals in a way that ‘pose
a significant and immediate risk’" that witnesses will be intimidated, Special Counsel Jack Smith's team argued in court papers filed Wednesday.
