Judge raises possibility of Trump trying to influence Mike Pence testimony

After 2 hours and 20 minutes of oral arguments, a three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals appears inclined to restore the limited gag order in former President Donald Trump’s federal election subversion case, but may loosen some restrictions so he can more directly criticize special counsel Jack Smith. Judge Patricia Millett posed a hypothetical about Trump posting about former Vice President Mike Pence on social media, one day before Pence testifies at the trial: “Mike Pence can still do the right thing if he says the right stuff tomorrow.”
