Merchan initially issued the gag order last week barring Trump from publicly speaking on court staff, prosecutors involved in the case, and their family members. But he did not initially clarify that his daughter was off limits. “He’s trying to show that all judges are biased against him,” Lieb said, adding that he understands Trump’s defense is formulating a strategy but that he doesn’t believe it will stand up to legal muster.
One more important point: there’s always the question of how to regulate Trump, and what threats short of jail to impose. Merchan comes up with a good one: If Trump doesn’t control himself, he will lose access to juror names at trial. That’s a real strategic disadvantage.The April 15 trial represents a political headache for the former president who will be forced to spend days in court instead of the campaign trial once the trial starts, and the trial is expected to last up to six weeks.
The Merchans are not the only family that has weathered attacks from the former president. Trump has also blasted the family members of judges in different trials he faces as he battles 88 criminal indictments. In November, Trump went after special counsel Jack Smith, who is leading two cases against Trump, and his family. “The Trump-hating prosecutor in the case, his wife and family despise me much more than he does, and I think he’s about a 10,” Trump said during a New Hampshire rally.
