On Tuesday, the New York judge presiding over Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial will deliver a ruling over the recently imposed gag order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of Judge Merchan’s ruling, Trump blasted the controversial gag order in a Truth Social post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHIGHLY CONFLICTED, TO PUT IT MILDLY, JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN, HAS TAKEN AWAY MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social shortly after arguments over the gag order concluded. \u201cEVERYBODY IS ALLOWED TO TALK AND LIE ABOUT ME, BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DEFEND MYSELF. THIS IS A KANGAROO COURT, AND THE JUDGE SHOULD RECUSE HIMSELF!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors with the Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s Office claim Trump has so far violated the order barring him from attacking witnesses, prosecutors, court staff, and the judge\u2019s family 10 times. They are asking the judge to fine Trump $1,000 for each violation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump is being charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records to make alleged hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purported violations were mainly posted to Trump\u2019s Truth Social, where he has made comments<\/a> about potential witnesses in recent days. The gag order does not prevent Trump from attacking the judge or Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One post, made on April 10<\/a>, thanked an ex-lawyer to porn actress Stormy Daniels for \u201crevealing the truth about two sleazebags who have, with their lies and misrepresentations, cost our Country dearly.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201csleazebags\u201d in question were Daniels and Trump\u2019s ex-fixer and personal attorney, Michael Cohen \u2014 both expected to be prominent witnesses in the district attorney\u2019s case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another post maligns Cohen as a \u201cdisgraced attorney and felon\u2026prosecuted for lying\u201d and suggested that an ex-Manhattan prosecutor who once oversaw the investigation into Trump, Mark Pomerantz, should be \u201cprosecuted for his terrible acts in and out of the D.A.\u2019s office.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has appealed the gag order, arguing it is an unconstitutional violation of his First Amendment rights, but it remains in effect as of now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
