Former President Donald Trump 's commentary outside his fraud trial courtroom in New York is a "brilliant" strategy that ensures his version of the process will "get into the head" of listeners — including jurists, former Judge Andrew Napolitano told Newsmax on Friday.
But he also pointed out what Trump is doing "when he is speaking in the hallway — he is testifying without being cross-examined, which is brilliant." And even though "it doesn't mean that they're going to take at face value what he says… they are humans, so they're gonna get into their head his version of things over and over and over again," he said.
"Most judges think gag orders protect jurors from hearing things they shouldn't hear and protect witnesses from being intimidated," he added. "But they also silence a defendant, and that's wrong under the Constitution."
