Former President Donald Trump filed a notice of appeal after a partial gag order was handed down earlier this week in special counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6-related case against him.

Lawyers for the 45th president, in court papers filed Tuesday, launched an appeal that argued that Judge Tanya Chutkan’s partial order “would be embracing new ground in respect to the First Amendment that would regulate campaign speech.”
