Trump gagged: Hush money Judge drops hammer on Trump

Um Lisa, the other news that we have that just came out when we were going on air is a gag order from Judge Meon here in New York City, what is this referring to? Then the district attorney's office had asked Judge Michon to place a gag order on the ex. President Trump regarding his out-of-court statements, that's a fancy way of saying anything he says outside of the courtroom. They called for three categories of bans. They called for bans on what he said about known or potential Witnesses. They called for bans on what he could say. on any attorney in the case other than Alvin Bragg himself, the elected district attorney, and any Court staff, as well as any family members of those persons, that are done with the intent or knowledge that they would interfere with the administration of justice and, finally, They ask that he be prohibited from making public statements about any potential juror or juror in the proceedings.

That's an acknowledgment that having an anonymous jury here through jury selection would not be enough to protect jurors in this case, at least at first glance. Everything the prosecutor asked for in that gag order they got today with some really harsh words from Judge Maran about the impact of Trump's statements on people outside of this case and inside this case so far Trump has appealed the gag orders before arguing that they violate their freedom. Speech, especially since he's running a campaign, we could expect them to appeal this case, we can definitely expect them to appeal it and I think it will similarly fall on deaf ears because with each passing case, Trump is amassing a record of threatening participants in the judicial process. .

Proceedings have been delayed so far on the D.C. circuit. I also hope that a New York court upholds this gag order. Well, the DC Circuit gag order, although limited, was reduced somewhat, remained in effect but was not as broad as it was initially presented, am I wrong? No, it was narrowed down a bit, but again, this is quite modest, it's aimed at three categories of people and it's not just about making statements, for example, Trump can make statements about the Witnesses. In the case, what he can't do is make statements about them, and I'm quoting the order here about their potential involvement in the investigation or in this criminal proceeding, so can you say I don't like Michael Cohen?

He says that Michael Cohen is a perjurer and it is likely that he will commit perjury in this case and his testimony is not, he cannot.
