The Manhattan district attorney’s office has suggested that Donald Trump violated a gag order in his hush-money criminal case by making false claims about Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter on social media.They’ve asked Merchan to extend the gag order to prevent Trump from attacking family members of those involved in his criminal trial related to hush money payments. The district attorney’s office argues that if the original gag order did not already prohibit this behavior, it should be clarified or extended to protect the families of those involved. The prosecutors have also warned that any future disregard of the gag order will result in sanctions.
Last week, the prosecutors asked the judge to clarify or confirm whether the gag order included restrictions on Trump making comments about family members. Trump’s lawyers responded by stating that they did not believe the gag order covered such restrictions. As a result, both sides are now filing additional legal briefs to address this issue.
The district attorney’s office is urging the court to make it clear that Trump is prohibited from making public statements about not only family members of the court, but also the district attorney and all other individuals mentioned in the gag order. It is essential to ensure that Trump complies with the order and faces consequences in case of any future violations.
This development comes after the original gag order was issued last week, preventing Trump from making statements about witnesses. The district attorney’s office is now seeking to expand the gag order to avoid any attacks on family members, as such behavior can impede the fair trial process.
The case related to hush money payments has garnered significant attention, and it is crucial for all parties involved to maintain professionalism and adhere to the court’s guidelines. The expanded gag order, if granted, would help in ensuring a fair and unbiased trial by preventing any unwarranted attacks or interference in the case. It remains to be seen how the court will rule on this request from the district attorney’s office.
