Judge Bars Trump from Making Public Comments about Judge's Family

A New York judge barred former President Donald Trump Monday from making public comments about the judge's family. The order by Judge Juan Merchan came after prosecutors for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg asked Merchan to expand a previously issued gag order in the case, 'making clear that the court's family is off-limits.

' Merchan ultimately decided that the comments about his daughter would 'undoubtedly interfere with the fair administration of justice and constitutes a direct attack on the Rule of Law itself.' 'The average observer must now, after hearing Defendant's recent attacks, draw the conclusion that if they become involved in these proceedings, even tangentially, they should worry not only for themselves, but their loved ones,' Merchan wrote. 'Such concerns will undoubtedly interfere with the fair administration of justice and constitutes a direct attack on the Rule of Law itself.
