Washington Post: Trump gag order reinstated but narrowed in Jan. 6 case
A federal appeals court narrowed an order limiting what former president Donald Trump can say about people involved in the criminal case alleging that he tried to subvert the 2020 election results, saying he cannot talk about witnesses’ involvement or single out other individuals in ways likely to interfere with the
case.
The ruling upholds a ban on Trump speaking about the participation of witnesses in the investigation and likely testimony. But it removes from the gag order on Special Counsel Jack Smith. Commentary on other lawyers involved in the case, as well as court staff and both groups’ family members, are barred “if those
statements are made with the intent to materially interfere with, or to cause others to materially interfere with, counsel’s or staff’s work in this criminal case, or with the knowledge that such interference is highly likely to result.”
Fox Business: US economy adds 199,000 jobs in November, unemployment rate unexpectedly falls
Job growth rise more than expected in November while unemployment rate ticks down
Employers added 199,000 jobs in November, the U.S. Department of Labor said in its monthly payroll report released Friday, as striking autoworkers and actors returned to work. That was slightly above the 180,000 jobs forecast by Refinitiv economists.
The unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 3.7% after rising for three straight months, driven by a sizable drop in the jobless rate for teenagers.
The report also contained modest downward revisions to job growth at the beginning of fall. Gains for September were revised down by a total of 35,000 jobs to 262,000, the government said, suggesting that the labor market is weaker than it previously appeared. October’s gain was unchanged at 150,000 jobs.
