Washington Today (11-20-23): Donald Trump gag order argued before U.S. Court of Appeals

A three judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit holds a hearing on whether there should be a gag order on former President Donald Trump in his criminal case on charges he tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election and instigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. His lawyer argued a gag order violates his right to Free Speech, especially since he is a presidential candidate for 2024. The government special counsel's office said, without a gag order, court personnel and witnesses could be in danger. Today is President Joe Biden's birthday. He is 81 years old. He makes a few jokes about his age, and the White House press secretary gets the serious question about whether that age matters in the president's reelection campaign.
