Okay, let’s get started.
What’s ahead
An appeals court in Washington could decide at any time whether to reimpose a limited gag order on Donald Trump in his federal election-obstruction case in D.C. The three-judge panel questioned prosecutors and defense lawyers last week about the issue, and the argument spilled over into Thanksgiving (more on this topic below).
- Monday should see new Trump defense motions in the D.C. case — this time related to which witnesses he’d like to subpoena. Since his defense team argues this is a case of politically motivated, selective prosecution, we could see him seek permission from the court to subpoena Democrats and government figures he wants to put on the witness stand.
- On Friday, a hearing is scheduled in the Fulton County, Ga., case, where the judge is expected to consider a raft of defense motions.
Now, a recap of last week’s action.
