Summary

In Donald Trump’s federal election interference case, a three-judge panel mostly upheld the original gag order but narrowed its terms. Trump is barred from attacking potential witnesses, court staff, and most prosecutors but is allowed to criticize the charges, the Justice Department, and Special Counsel Jack Smith. Meanwhile, the U.S. added 199,000 jobs in November and unemployment dropped to 3.7%. A closely watched consumer sentiment index is showing a more optimistic view of the U.S. economy. Eugene Daniels, Eugene Scott, Paul Butler, Jon Allen, Basil Smikle, Susan Del Percio, and Dr. Vin Gupta join.
