Donald Trump can't seem to stop talking about his indictment.
But once he's arraigned, it's "extremely likely" he'll be put under a gag order, one expert said.
Punishment in New York for criminal contempt could be a $1,000 fine or 30 days in jail.
Former President Donald Trump can't seem to stop talking about his indictment. But once he's arraigned, it's "extremely likely" that he'll have to, a former senior staffer with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office told Insider.
His freedom to rant on Truth Social and say what he wants about his case at rallies will likely change once he surrenders and appears in a Manhattan courthouse, according to Duncan Levin, who is also a former federal prosecutor with the Department of Justice.
Manhattan's Acting Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, who is expected to arraign Trump on Tuesday, is likely to put conditions on his release, and that's "most likely" when the judge will issue a gag order, restricting Trump from discussing the case, Levin said. If Trump violates it by speaking about the litigation outside the courtroom, he could face consequences.

“Donald Trump can’t seem to stop talking about his indictment.”
And why should he? The writers of this article (That’s right. It took two of them to write this tripe) wouldn’t be talking about it if this happened to them. They wouldn’t be able to. They’d be crying on the floor in the fetal position.
Umm... Jan.6 WAS a walk in the park.
Exactly. A Republican could get a job anywhere in the world— i.e. doctor, plumber, electrician, trucker, etc. Most Democrats are employable only in the USA and even then, mostly in larger cities. America would function fine without lawyers, college professors, hollywood producers, and union leaders.
Joe Biden approves of your sarcasm.
Socialist Democrats are digging their own grave.
I have full faith that President in Exile Trump’s lawyers are a few steps ahead on anything they can throw his way.
In the meantime, sit back, pop some corn and watch our ENEMY destroy themselves.
Best advice.
He should have consolidated his power with people he trusted the first time around and instead of talking he should have taken it all down
I see what you did there! LOL
But we can. We can read his words, his first inaugural. We can take turns
“Starting Right here. Right now.”

Hi.
I thought you had to be convicted of a crime before taking your rights away.
Used to be that way in the United States. And go figure, you were presumed innocent before a jury of your peers.
We are now a banana republic. Prove me wrong.
Bloat.

It’s about the process
And this is part of the plan
Things like "unless I'm mistaken the President wants to get Cohen's lawyer on the witness stand for several days at least to ask him about the events of (insert date here).
If that happens I wonder if there’ll be mass resignations.
A gag order was imposed on Gen. Flynn. Any gag order is unconstitutional but particularly for one accused of a crime and especially when those making the accusations/prosecuting are allowed to speak/leak. Not sure why people aren’t fighting these.
Agree. Worst Chief ever.
I just semi retired from IT. And yes I was surrounded for the most part by leftists.
That didn’t happen. There’s a reason why this “legal expert” works for MSN and not a court or law firm.
