Attorneys for President Donald Trump have petitioned for en banc rehearing of a appeals court ruling that barred the president from blocking his critics on Twitter.

In a filing late Friday, Jennifer L. Utrecht, an appellate lawyer in the U.S. Justice Department’s civil division, argued that last month’s ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit was “fundamentally misconceived” because it conflated his private account with his role as a public officeholder.
