Bragg’s Office Says Trump Violated Gag Order with Social Media Post About Judge Merchan’s Daughter – Trump’s Lawyers Respond

Prosecutors in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s office said President Trump violated Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order when he criticized the judge’s daughter on social media.

The far-left judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial hit President Trump with a gag order on Tuesday.

Judge Juan Merchan ordered Trump to refrain from making any public statements about witnesses and jurors in the Stormy Daniels case.

Trump criticized Merchan’s daughter and now Bragg’s office wants the judge to “clarify or confirm” the scope of his gag order.

President Trump’s attorneys said the former president didn’t violate the gag order because Loren Merchan is not a witness or a juror.

“The Court cannot ‘direct’ President Trump to do something that the gag order does not require,” Trump’s lawyers Todd Blanche and Susan Necheles wrote to Merchan in a response to the prosecution’s letter, according to AP. “To ‘clarify or confirm’ the meaning of the gag order in the way the People suggest would be to expand it.”

Jury selection comes next. President Trump’s lawyers will need to watch closely the jury selection process.

Loren Merchan “represents Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff, and other Radical Liberals,” and “has just posted a picture of me behind bars, her obvious goal,” the GOP frontrunner complained in his Truth Social post on Wednesday morning.


Judge Merchan, Control your daughter.

Judge should recuse himself. Trump’s lawyers are gonna bring that up next. Judge has been compromised by not gagging all people involved in the case.

Gag orders on defendants are unconstitutional.

Period.

Gag orders on defendants are unconstitutional.

For any person in the world except Trump. In this corrupt judicial system, Trump does not have the 1st, 4th, 5th or 8th Constitutional Rights. Hell, Trump doesn't even have attorney/client confidentiality. And forget Executive Privilege.

Judges do NOT have the authority to impose a gag order to avoid being criticized! They are public employees and so are their staffs.

Maybe the corrupt judge should be issued a gag order on himself.

And we know what you are doing too. Let's lay it out so no one will have to guess.

By using the word "child" you want to suggest the picture of a wee tot with her hair in braids. Probably holding a puppy wif a boo-boo that she is tenderly nursing.

Instead we have a 40 year old grown ass lawyer who is a political operative who struck first at Trump by posting fake news pictures of him behind bars.

But that does not fit in with your slimy little insinuating manner of attack. So you will ignore it.

Listening to the inane spew from Bragg is like watching a talking anus. Minus any lipstick. He is nothing but an affirmative action hack and corrupt commie.

Whatever. Still shouldn’t be even speaking of the judges kids. Is she part of the trial?
