Days before his New York criminal trial, Trump violated his gag order to berate Cohen on social media
Donald TrumpĀ is currently being held under the guidelines of a gag order issued byĀ Judge Juan Merchan, which prohibitsĀ āmaking or directing others to make public statements about known or reasonably foreseeable witnesses concerning their potential participation in the investigation or in this criminal proceeding.ā But days beforeĀ his New York criminal trial, he seems to have done just that.
In a post toĀ Truth SocialĀ on Saturday, Trump writes, āHas Mark POMERANTZ been prosecuted for his terrible acts in and out of the D.A.ās Office. Has disgraced attorney and felonĀ Michael CohenĀ been prosecuted for LYING? Only TRUMP people get prosecuted by this Judge and these thugs! A dark day for our Country. MAGA2024!!!ā
Cohen, TrumpāsĀ former attorney and a key witness in his upcoming hush money trial, fired-back at Trumpās attack with his own post to social media, writing, āWhen does enough become enough and the petulant man child gets a time out in lockup for his bad behavior?ā
Aināt nothin gonna happen.
If Merchan decides not to charge him, heāll do so in a way that illustrates his leniency for future reference of considerations made by the court. Heās a no-nonsense judge who already knows Trump is looking to claim mistrial.
He seems like a real boss, but heās definitely allowed a ton of nonsense. Presumably in the course of ensuring an ironclad trial, but good god trump is still doing his thing.
For sure. It seems the only constants in the universe are perpetual change, and Trump will continue Trump.
One of those is a word.
