New York hush-money trial still on course for 15 April start but ruling in classified documents case has prosecutors concerned
Donald Trump faced mounting trouble this week in his legal universe, with judges overseeing two of Trump’s legal cases refusing to accept his attempts to delay and toss the prosecution – and the former president doubling down on efforts to discredit his opponents.
The judge overseeing Trump’s criminal trial in New York expanded a gag order on Monday, which had originally banned Donald Trump from making public statements about court staff, trial witnesses or the families of any counsel or staff member on the case. The narrower gag order did not prohibit Trump from making statements about family members of the judge, and after Judge Juan Merchan issued it, the former president took to social media to attack the judge’s daughter.
“His Daughter,” wrote Trump on the social media platform Truth Social, “is a Rabid Trump Hater,” identifying her by name.
The new gag order would now prevent him from making statements like that – but Trump’s abusive commentary about her, and others involved with his trial has probably already prompted threats and harassment.
notice fuckface never has a bad word to say about that batshit insane ‘judge’ cannon. dont want to go around threatening your own lapdog
Well, that’s understandable, as that judge behaves like part of his defense team.
But speaking of bad words, he attacked pretty much every politician when he was in office, except for putin. You won’t find him saying anything bad about him.
