Trump Vows To Appeal New Gag Order: “Witch Hunt!”

Bloomberg News reports:

In announcing the partial gag order, US District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that Trump’s free speech rights under the First Amendment had to “yield” to the administration of justice and the protection of witnesses, and did not permit him to launch a “smear campaign.”

Chutkan said that if the government believed Trump had violated her order, she would consider sanctions as needed. She didn’t specify what those would include.
