In a brazen attempt to circumvent his gag order, Donald Trump was spotted editing speeches for his political allies to deliver on his behalf outside the courtroom during his hush-money trial.
This blatant violation of the order was observed by journalist Andrew Rice, who witnessed Trump annotating quotes with a pen while Michael Cohen testified against him.
Trump’s cronies, including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, have been attempting to discredit the judicial branch and attack Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter, raising suspicions that Trump is directing them to speak on his behalf.
Trump’s Gag Order Violation: Caught Editing Speeches for Political Cronies
Trump’s actions have sparked outrage, as they appear to violate the gag order, which prohibits him from attacking court staff, jurors, prosecutors, witnesses, or their families, as well as directing others to do so.
Trump has already been fined $10,000 for a previous violation and has been warned that further violations could result in imprisonment. Despite this, Trump continues to push the boundaries, using his allies to spread misinformation and discredit the legal system.
The former president faces 34 felony counts for allegedly falsifying business records to cover up an affair with adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
As the trial continues, Trump’s tactics have raised concerns about his respect for the legal process and his willingness to manipulate others to achieve his goals.
