The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Does the gag order on Trump still obtain if he decides to take the witness stand?

No. The order is a limit on Trump's ability to make extrajudicial statements on the subjects described therein. It would not have any applicability to his statements as a witness. Full copy of the order at the link below.

Note that if Trump takes the witness stand, the judge will be there overseeing his testimony. So if Trump were to make statements in court that were to interfere with the operation of the trial (disparaging court staff, threatening witnesses, etc.) the judge would have the ability to intervene.
