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 ā€œmaking 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, ā€œHas Mark POMERANTZ been prosecuted for his terrible acts in and out of the D.A.ā€™s 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, Trumpā€™sĀ former attorney and a key witness in his upcoming hush money trial, fired-back at Trumpā€™s attack with his own post to social media, writing, ā€œWhen does enough become enough and the petulant man child gets a time out in lockup for his bad behavior?ā€

    He seems like a real boss, but heā€™s definitely allowed a ton of nonsense. Presumably in the course of ensuring an ironclad trial, but good god trump is still doing his thing.
