    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Trump, who is the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, continues to face various legal troubles with trials at both the state and federal level, and has been civilly sued by New York Attorney General Letitia James for $250 million.

    Chutkan had originally lifted the gag order to allow Trump’s lawyers time to prove why the former president’s comments should not be restricted ahead of the federal trial, which is scheduled to begin in March 2024.

    “I have just learned that the very Biased, Trump Hating Judge in D.C., who should have RECUSED herself due to her blatant and open loathing of your favorite President, ME, has reimposed a GAG ORDER which will put me at a disadvantage against my prosecutorial and political opponents,” he wrote on Truth Social.

    Former U.S Attorney Barbara McQuade previously told Newsweek in a statement that this move is “incredibly reckless” of Trump, explaining that someone can view this post and take violent action against James and Engoron.

    Court system lawyer Lisa Evans said Engoron and his staff have received hundreds of threatening and antisemitic phone calls and letters since the trial began in October, the Associated Press reported Thursday.

    However on Thursday, a state intermediate appeals court, headed by Judge David Friedman, granted a temporary stay on Engoron’s gag order effectively suspending it due to the “constitutional and statutory rights at issue.”
