Former president Trump is angry about a partial gag order from the judge in his New York criminal trial that restricts his ability to criticise witnesses.’s criminal hush-money trial on Tuesday told Mr Trump’s lawyer he is “losing all credibility” as he considered whether the formerpresident should be punished for violating a gag order that prevents him from publicly criticising witnesses and others involved in the case.
Former president Trump is angry about a partial gag order from the judge in his New York criminal trial that restricts his ability to criticise witnesses. New York prosecutor Christopher Conroy said Mr Trump has run afoul of the order with Truth Social posts, pointing to an April 10th post that called porn star Stormy Daniels and his former lawyer Michael Cohen “sleazebags”. Both are expected to testify in the first criminal trial of a former US president.
Mr Conroy said he was not at this point asking Mr Merchan to send Mr Trump to jail for up to 30 days, as New York law allows.Mr Blanche said his posts were responses to political attacks by Mr Cohen and not related to his former lawyer’s expected testimony.
