Judge Tanya Chutkan reinstated a gag order on Sunday night barring former President Donald Trump from attacking court staff, potential witnesses, and members of the prosecution team in the federal case against him for allegedly working to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Trump responded by attacking Attorney General Bill Barr, a potential witness in the case, while continuing his public assault on Chutkan.
While Chutkan has yet to respond to the posts, she would not be the first Judge overseeing a Trump case to level penalties against the former president for violating court-ordered restrictions on his public statements.
Trump has already been fined twice, and threatened with jail, for violating a separate gag order imposed in New York’s civil fraud case against the former president.
Judge Arthur Engoron fined Trump a total of $15,000 last week, accusing him of violating an order barring him from attacking court staff.
Engoron first slapped Trump with a $5,000 penalty and threatened to revoke his bail after the former president failed to delete a copy of the Truth Social post attacking his clerk from his campaign website.
The original article contains 452 words, the summary contains 185 words. Saved 59%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Don’t threaten. Do! He has demonstrated that he is a danger to everyone involved in this case.
Exactly. I dunno what it’s gonna take, short of one of these judges, their staff, witnesses, or jurors getting outright killed, for someone to finally realize “oh he’s actually trying to raise enough hell to get someone to make us go away”.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
