Jonathan Turley says a recent gag order imposed on Donald Trump by Judge Juan Merchan has 'major constitutional problems.'
Legal analyst Jonathan Turley, appearing on Fox News Sunday, said the U.S. Supreme Court would 'look harshly' at the recent gag order imposed on former President Donald Trump by Judge Juan Merchan.After earlier stating that Merchan's order had 'major constitutional problems,' Turley was asked by host Shannon Bream, 'What if it goes to SCOTUS?''I think SCOTUS would look harshly at this order as it's currently written.
Merchan, who is presiding over the criminal trial, imposed a gag order on Trump on Tuesday, barring him from making public statements about those involved in the case, excluding himself and Bragg. Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, and Daniels are protected under the order.However, the gag order did not include the families of Merchan or Bragg, and Trump has exploited the loophole numerous times on social media this week.
