Trump can no longer speak publicly about the daughter of a judge overseeing his hush money case in New York, according to a newly expanded gag order.
on Monday night following days of Trump lobbing public attacks at Merchan’s daughter Loren Merchan, who runs a Democratic marketing firm.
The original order spurred confusion as it prohibited Trump from speaking publicly about court staff and prosecutors involved in the case, as well as their family members, but it did not expressly prohibit Trump from speaking about the judge’s daughter.Within one day of the order’s issuance, the former president posted a string of scathing statements on his social media account Truth Social blasting Loren Merchan as a “Rabid Trump Hater” whose “dream” is to put Trump “in jail.
The judge also added to the new order the stipulation that if Trump’s conduct continued to be “harassing or disruptive,” Trump would forfeit his right to access names of jurors in the case, a possible penalty that comes two weeks before jury selection is set to begin on April 15. Juan Merchan alluded to Trump’s references to his daughter in his new order, saying that Trump has made “baseless misrepresentations” about those he has attacked. The judge suggested that Trump’s argument that he has a right to post a photo of his daughter is “farcical.”
