The \u2064court stated that the stay\u200c is not\u200b a ruling on the merits of the motion, but rather \u2062to allow sufficient time for \u200dconsideration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The gag order saga began when special counsel Jack Smith requested the\u2063 order, \u200dwhich was granted by Judge Chutkan on\u200d Oct. 17.
