"By speaking about the jury at all, he places this proceeding in jeopardy," prosecutor Christopher Conroy said. The gag order aims to prevent one of the world's most prominent people from intimidating witnesses, jurors and other participants in the trial. It does not prevent Trump from criticizing prosecutors or the judge himself.
"I don't think there's ever been a more conflicted judge - crooked and conflicted," Trump said at a rally in Michigan on Wednesday. The jurors were later brought in to hear testimony from lawyer Keith Davidson, who helped arrange the payment to Daniels, who was shopping her story of a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump to media outlets at a time when Trump was already facing damaging accusations of sexual misbehavior.
