A federal appeals court on Friday partially reinstated terms of an already-limited gag order placed on Donald Trump in his election subversion case in Washington, D.C., but not without first lashing him for giving “no inch to the need to protect the criminal justice system.”

The 68-page ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia also orders that Trump and others in the case are forbidden from making public statements about any known or “reasonably foreseeable witnesses concerning their potential participation” in the investigation of Trump’s underlying indictment or the trial proceedings themselves.

Trump is barred too from making any comments about the parties to the case or their family members, except, rather notably, for special counsel Jack Smith.
