Legal experts believe Donald Trump could have flouted his court-imposed gag order by apparently manufacturing a scenario where his supporters communicated on his behalf. According to Newsweek, Trump has been penning notes for his political sympathizers to read outside the courthouse during his New York criminal trial, a move which could contravene the gag order.
The purpose of the order is to prevent Trump from talking about the jury or any witnesses in the hush money case. "Those notes are not privileged documents, and if their contents mirrored some of what Trump's GOP cronies said to the press, the notes could evidence violations of the Court's order," wrote New York lawyer David R. Lurie on X. Trump, eyeing up another run for the White House in 2024, is the first ex-US president to be the center of a criminal trial, reports the Express US. Trump is accused of 34 counts of falsifying business records with the prosecution claiming he paid Stormy Daniels, an ex-adult movie star, $130,000 to keep silent about a supposed affair before the 2016 election......
Ron Filipkowski, the chief at MeidasTouch.com, has claimed that Trump is blatantly flouting a gag order by using "surrogates" to communicate his stance. "We have been reporting for days now that Trump is providing daily talking points to surrogates who show up at the trial to violate the gag order for him. The order specifically prohibits him from doing this," he said.
Eric Lisann, an ex-federal prosecutor, also weighed in, stating, "Trump is not denying that he is directing others to speak in ways that are violations of the gag order - which is a violation of the gag order. The judge, Justice Merchan, can order Trump to show cause why he should not be held in contempt. "

The Trump-haters are Bidening their shorts.
Just issue a sweeping ruling saying that Biden’s political opponent is not allowed to campaign or speak to other humans.
He’s got the wetback cur Merchan painted into a corner... and the cur knows it.
I’ll bet President Trump is eager to have the cur raise hell about his unconstitutional gag order again at this stage in the trial.
Communist lawyers are not real big on freedom of speech. The DNC definition of Democracy is their Party picks both candidates and you can vote for either.
Shouldn’t their name be the Irish Red Star?
The judge ordered the bailiff to confiscate the note and then Merchan read it aloud to the court to prove that Trump was violating the gag order.
It read: “Biden is a poopy pants, pass it along”.
“Ron Filipkowski, the chief at MeidasTouch.com”.....
That’s all you have to know.
Trump hater.
The man is sick.
Breaking!
Trump caught reading a dictionary, with words, while looking at the judge and jury.
Then his supporters make speeches, using words from that same dictionary.
Two progressive type Irish nationals who have no clue about US law disinforming their readers about the legal nature of public gag orders ordered by a trial judge. The blind leading the blind.
Passing gas. Passing 🎶 notes.
Is this really what they are contemplating now.
Reminds me of a song: Is that all there is.

LOL maybe Trump sent out messages using morse code too
Why don’t they bind him up and wheel him in like they did in Silence of the Lambs?
“if their contents mirrored some of what Trump’s GOP cronies said to the press, the notes could evidence violations of the Court’s order,”
Yeah, because if two republicans say the same thing, that is clearly a conspiracy. /s
Go ahead.... lock him up. See what happens. That gets into some very unpredictable zones in a country of 330 million.
Trump is blatantly flouting a gag order by using “surrogates” to communicate his stance.
A cute way of suppressing free speech of ANYBODY who tries to use it making Trump the target it’s a bogus attempt of communism Xi winks.
Raps from Mao’s box happening
BS! It is not against the law to have US speaking on his behalf.
they really hate trump with a passion and want him dead.
Trump needs to realize that he is going to have to do what he has to do to clean out deep state. No matter what it takes.
“Experts”....meaning idiots.
Trying to get away with gag of Trump and then gag of House Speaker Johnson and everyone else. How can they get away with that? They’re really pushing their boundaries now.
