Trump Appeals Gag Order

For those of you following the January 6 prosecution of Donald Trump: Trump has appealed a gag order the district judge imposed to prevent Trump from making certain public statements, especially about witnesses. The jurisdiction statement is on pp. 2-6. He argues the order is appealable under the collateral order doctrine (consider why) and as the equivalent of an injunction under § 1292(a).
