The former president has been lashing out at the adult daughter of the judge in his New York hush money case.
Judge Juan Merchan instituted the gag order on Tuesday, citing Trump’s “threatening, inflammatory, denigrating” rhetoric and barring him from making interfering statements about witnesses, lawyers, and “the family members” of any “counsel or staff member” in the case. The order did carve out an exception for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is leading the prosecution. It did not explicitly mention Merchan or his family as covered by the terms of the order.
” “The People believe that the March 26 Order is properly read to protect family members of the Court,” wrote Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass. “But to avoid any doubt, this Court should now clarify or confirm that the Order protects family members of the Court, the District Attorney, and all other individuals mentioned in the Order.” Steinglass added that Trump should face “sanctions under judiciary law” if he continues to “disregard” court orders.
