前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)正在寻求紧急暂停有限的禁言令,法官在他的联邦选举干预案本周早些时候复职。
特朗普周四晚些时候要求华盛顿巡回上诉法院紧急暂停。
美国地区法官艾琳·坎农上个月强加了一个精心设计的笑话禁止川普发表或转发“公开针对”特别顾问杰克·史密斯及其工作人员,以及楚特坎的工作人员和华盛顿特区地方法院其他工作人员的声明的命令。在上诉后停止了,她然后恢复有限的禁言令周一,在回应特朗普关于他的前参谋长马克·梅多斯的社交媒体评论时。
特朗普的律师认为,禁言令侵犯了他的第一修正案权利。
他们还通知法院,如果法院拒绝在11月10日之前批准他们的暂停请求,他们将向美国最高法院寻求救济。

8月的特朗普不服罪被控通过招募一系列所谓的“假选举人”,利用司法部进行“虚假选举犯罪调查”,试图招募副总统“改变选举结果”,并在1月6日暴乱肆虐时宣传虚假的选举舞弊指控,以推翻2020年选举的结果——所有这些都是为了颠覆民主,继续掌权。
这位前总统否认所有不当行为,并谴责这些指控是“对政治对手的迫害”。
Trump seeks emergency stay of limited gag order in federal election interference case
Former President Donald Trump is seeking an emergency stay of the limited gag order that the judge in hisfederal election interference casereinstated earlier this week.
Trump requested the emergency stay from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals late Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon last monthimposed a narrowly tailored gagorder prohibiting Trump from making or reposting statements "publicly targeting" special counsel Jack Smith and his staff, as well as Chutkan's staff and the staff of other D.C. district court personnel. After halting it following an appeal, she thenreinstated the limited gag orderon Monday in response to Trump's social media comments regarding his former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
Trump's lawyers argue that the gag order violates his First Amendment rights.
They also inform the court if it declines to grant their request for a pause by Nov. 10, they will seek relief from the U.S. Supreme Court.
Trump in Augustpleaded not guiltyto charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election by enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors," using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations," trying to enlist the vice president to "alter the election results," and promoting false claims of a stolen election as the Jan. 6 riot raged -- all in an effort to subvert democracy and remain in power.
The former president has denied all wrongdoing and denounced the charges as "a persecution of a political opponent."
