On Monday, a federal judge prohibited former President Donald Trump from speaking about his prosecutors in the case alleging he illegally interfered when he challenged the 2020 elections.

The order came as the former president, who is campaigning to run for president again in 2024, arrived to give a speech in Iowa.
"They've weaponized the Justice Department," he said in Adel, Iowa. "This is like a banana republic. But it's going to be OK. The good news is—I'm the only one that's ever been indicted where the [poll] numbers went through the roof—because the people understand it." The crowd burst into cheers as President Trump said he had challenged the 2020 elections because "the election was crooked."
