Donald Trump has decried the gag order in his New York court trial as 'unconstitutional,' a claim professors say could galvanize his base of supporters.

Trump earlier this week was fined $9,000 by Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the trial that accuses Trump of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment to a porn star in order to deride damaging allegations in the final weeks of his 2016 campaign.that while gag orders are “rare,” they are still legal and may ultimately help the former president further his claims that the trial is “election interference.

“Now, he is cleverly using it as a campaign tool, talking about and complaining about being gagged,” Gutterman added. “It’s not just high-profile people that you might have a gag or against, but it’s people who defy the norms of justice and of legal process,” Nieman said while acknowledging that Trump’s claims about his gag order are an effective way of drawing sympathy over his legal plights.
