Special Counsel Jack Smith has asked Judge Tanya Chutkan to impose a gag order on former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>This surprising \u200bmove by the Biden administration has raised many eyebrows within the legal community.

They raise concerns of the chilling\u2064 effect it could have on public discourse, especially considering the enormous \u200cinfluence that former presidents typically \u2062wield.
