Far-left NY judge Juan Merchan Monday night expanded Trump’s gag order and barred the former president from criticizing his family members.
Last week Judge Merchan hit Trump with a gag order.
Merchan ordered Trump to refrain from making any public statements about witnesses and jurors in the Stormy Daniels case.
Alvin Bragg accused Trump of violating the gag order when he criticized Merchan’s daughter even though she isn’t a witness or a juror.
President Trump last Wednesday said the daughter of the far-left judge who just hit him with a gag order in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ case posted a photo of him behind bars.
Earlier Monday Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg asked far-left NY Judge Juan Merchan to amend Trump’s gag order to include family members of trial participants.
Bragg urged the judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ trial to expand the gag order over ‘dangerous and violent’ rhetoric after Trump defended himself against alleged attacks from Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan – a far-left political operative.
“Defendant’s dangerous, violent, and reprehensible rhetoric fundamentally threatens the integrity of these proceedings and is intended to intimidate witnesses and trial participants alike— including this Court,” Bragg’s prosecutor wrote in a motion on Monday.

Hardly unexpected. Trump knows people hate this crap and judge fell right into the trap.
The Judge is a Columbian, not an American.
This is utter bullcrap that the daughter can organize massive vitriol against him, and he cannot respond. This overreach and he will be overruled.
Wouldn’t this be something along the lines of “bill of attainder,” which is forbidden by the Constitution?
Nothing criminal here....nothing at all.
Just as his daughter had a right to post the picture, Trump had the right to mention her and the picture.
Correct!
So let’s get this straight. The “crime” was paying somebody to keep quiet....and now...
From what I understand this is an illegal use of a gag order. The judge needs to be reprimanded.
The Trump troll is working.
Ask not for whom Trump Trolls,He trolls for thee!
THese little fascist judges are used to working in the dark, when the light of day hits their nest, they scurry around in a panic like rabid little mice about to be exterminated.
How do you like the light now, Far-left NY judge Juan Merchan?
There is not a gag order this leftist idiot can make that will not result in even more daylight.Judge Jaun is toast!
BUahahahahahahahahahaha!
Little fascist Juan cannot gag the whole Trump campaign, who has myriads of spokespersons.
Neither Trump nor any of his organizations paid a dime for this. According to Cohen's Lawyer, Trump may not even have been aware of the deal and the whole thing was a Russia Hoax style set up by Cohen and Stormy Daniels to extort and defraud Trump because they were having an affair together and wanted to make bank off Trumps presidential campaign. .

Trump uses a surrogate to hammer the judge, the judges daughter and anyone else he wants to keep the pressure up.
Pathetic. Can he tell fat jokes about Juan’s head?
And not long ago, the media announced that 18-YO, now adult, Barron Trump was fair game.
Exactly. Twixxer and here..
But of course the Leftwing get-Trump narrative says its about "hush money" since even rabid Leftists might see the absurdity of calling it fraud to write "legal expenses" when paying one's lawyer.
The details have never mattered to the get-Trump narrative spinners. They have their own "truth" you know. The real truth is they know Trump did nothing wrong but they just want to get him anyway. And they hate it when they get exposed and want everybody to shut the heck up about how corrupt they are. So you expose them, and they come at you harder.
Maybe it’s just the curtain has been lifted…..
the judge should have recused himself.
It makes us look foolish.
