FYI: The panel is Judges Patricia Millett (Obama), Cornelia Pillard (Obama), and Brad Garcia (Biden), and it's not going well for Trump's lawyer, D. John Sauer.
Ooooof. Sauer: "I cannot think of a violation that would not violate the law."
Sauer is basically saying that there is no gag order that could issue aside from criminal law violations.
Millett is OVER Sauer.
Garcia is extremely skeptical.
Pillard is thinking about the opinion (and SCOTUS?).
Sauer is (1) not answering questions and (2) interrupting the judges repeatedly.
All is going well.

Pillard says to Sauer that his argument seems to be that there is "no work that the interest in a fair trial could permissibly do" to allow a gag order before harm comes to the trial.
