The judge in the federal trial set to begin March 4 in Washington, Tanya Chutkan, issued a series of restrictions in October on public comments aimed at prosecutors, court staff and witnesses about the case, affecting both the prosecution and defense .
Following an appeal by Donald Trump’s lawyers, the proceedings were briefly suspended and resumed on October 29 after hearing arguments from both parties.
The federal appeals court in Washington, hearing a new appeal from Mr. Trump on Thursday evening, granted his request for a stay and set a hearing for November 20.
Following the decision by re-suspended Judge Chutkan, Donald Trump was barred from calling special prosecutor Jack Smith, who is investigating the case, “crazy” and his colleagues “thugs.”
But the Republican primary favorite could quietly continue to rage against his Democratic successor, Joe Biden, who is being systematically nicknamed “the villain,” or accuse his administration of exploiting justice to force him out of the race for the White House in 2020 2024 to be excluded.
