quote:
New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg formally asked Tuesday for Donald Trump to be held in contempt in his hush money trial for allegedlyviolating Justice Juan Merchan's gag order.

The legal action stems from an April 1 court order that prohibited Trump from making or directing public statements about potential witnesses in the case, including Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels. The order was aimed at preventing any influence on the testimony or intimidation of individuals involved in the trial.

quote:
Despite the order, Trump reportedly made several posts on social media targeting Cohen and Daniels shortly after the restriction was put in place. This included a post on April 10 where Trump shared a statement by Michael Avenatti, a former lawyer for Daniels, criticizing the fairness of the gag order and calling Cohen and Daniels "sleaze bags."

The irony is Bragg has no gag reflex.

So… reposting a statement by someone else is considered violating a gag order?

He sure as frick didn’t get Avenatti to make the statement as a sock puppet.

I don't get why Trump doesn't just spin up a new Trump for President handle and do all the talking through it. The Court has no say over his campaign and if they tried it would open an entire different can of worms for election interference.
