Former President Donald Trump is appealing a court order issued by Judge Tanya Chutkan that restricts him from making public statements about certain individuals involved in the special counsel's case against him. Trump's legal team filed the appeal on Tuesday, which will now head to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Fox News host Jesse Watters has argued that the gag order is an attempt to imprison Trump for "talking". The outcome of the appeal is yet to be seen, but it could set a precedent for how the courts handle similar cases in the future.

Fox News Channel has announced that Jesse Watters, one of their biggest stars, will be taking over the 8 p.m. programming time slot vacated by Tucker Carlson. Watters' show, "Jesse Watters Primetime", is set to debut in the coming weeks and is expected to help bring back viewers and restore the network's ratings. Laura Ingraham's show will move from 10 p.m. to 7 p.m., while Sean Hannity will remain in the 9 p.m. slot and Greg Gutfeld's late-night broadcast will move to 10 p.m.
Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host, was reportedly worried that Donald Trump's election denialism and false rhetoric would trap him at Fox News for the rest of his career. Texts obtained by The Daily Beast suggest that Carlson was aware of the potential consequences of Trump's actions, and that he was not a fan of the former president. His firing from Fox News last month is still unclear, but the texts provide insight into his private opinion of Trump.
