Prominent legal scholar Prof. Jonathan Turley at George Washington University said on Friday that the gag order imposed on former President Donald Trump in his election case is wrong-headed and “unconstitutional.”

Mr. Turley made the remarks in an appearance on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” on Friday, shortly after a federal appeals court put a temporary freeze on the gag order against President Trump while his appeal plays out before the court.
