Trump Violates Gag Order Again In Courthouse Rant

Law & Crime reports:

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday outside of the hush-money trial courtroom criticized one of the prosecutors not named Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg (D), in apparent defiance of a gag order restricting such statements.

Of note, Trump’s gag order specifically bars him from “making or directing others to make public statements” about “counsel in the case other than the District Attorney” if “those statements are made with the intent to materially interfere” with the case.

Trump goes after prosecutor Matthew Colangelo, without naming him. “A lead person from the Department of Justice is running the trial, so Biden’s office is running the trial.” Trump is barred from attacking prosecutors — with the exception of Alvin Bragg — in the gag order.
