Trump asks appeals court to lift gag order imposed on him in 2020 election interference case

[Collection]Former President Donald Trump is asking a federal appeals court to lift a gag order that restricts his speech regarding potential witnesses and court staff in the case against him. Trump's lawyers argue that the gag order violates his First Amendment rights. The order prohibits Trump from making public statements targeting specific individuals involved in the case, but allows him to assert his claims of innocence and political motivation. The trial is scheduled to begin on March 4.
