Judge denies special prosecutor Smith's request for gag order against Trump in classified docs case
Cannon says that Smith's request was “wholly lacking in substance and professional courtesy.”By Nicholas Ballasy
Federal Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday denied Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s request to impose a gag order against former President Donald Trump in his federal classified documents case.
She said that Smith's request was “wholly lacking in substance and professional courtesy.”
Cannon warned Smith that "failure to comply" with the requirements she has outlined for "non-emergency motions" could result in sanctions.
Trump is already under a gag order in another criminal trial, the ongoing one in a Manhattan courtroom in which he faces 34 counts related to allegedly trying in 2016 to falsify business documents for a hush money payment to porn start Stormy Daniels for alleged sexual encounter about 11 years earlier, to prevent the matter from interfering with his ultimately successful bid to become president.

A real Judge is refreshing.
