Trump has allegedly been passing on media statements to his political supporters
Donald Trump could be forced to testify about handwritten media statements he allegedly passed on to supporters in violation of his court-mandated gag order, a legal expert has told Newsweek.Trump has been accused of writing notes for Republican politicians so that they can say his words for him, thereby circumventing the gag order in his hush money trial that bans him from speaking about witnesses, the judge or the jury.
'So long as Trump is not behind it, anyone in the world who is not part of the trial defense can say what they like about the prosecution and the participants. It's their First Amendment right.''But if Trump is behind it either by way of encouragement or actually providing the content, it violates the gag order,' he said.
