Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville has urged his fellow Republicans to help Trump circumvent a court-ordered gag order.
Donald Trump's political supporters allegedly helped him violate his court-ordered gag order, according to a former federal prosecutor.Eric Lisann said that senior Republican politicians could be subpoenaed for acting as Trump's mouthpieces during his hush-money trial in New York. He added that both Judge Juan Merchan and prosecutors will want to know if the GOP politicians' comments about the trial were orchestrated by Trump.
'The judge, Justice Merchan, can order Trump to show cause why he should not be held in contempt. The DA can request that also. Subpoenas could go out to Scott, Vance, and Tuberville. But they think it would be a distracting circus and it could well be. That doesn't mean though it is less problematic than doing nothing,' Lisann wrote.Newsweek sought email comment from Trump's attorney and from Tuberville, Vance and Scott's offices on Wednesday.
