Former president Donald Trump has had the gag order in his April 15 hush money case expanded to include the family of the judge and the DA
Donald Trump shared posts on his social media platform Truth Social about Loren Merchan, the daughter of the judge in the case Mr Trump’s hush-money case, one of four criminal cases against him, centres on allegations that he falsely logged payments to his former lawyer Michael Cohen as legal fees when they were for Mr Cohen’s work covering up negative stories about Mr Trump during the 2016 campaign.
Judge Juan Merchan addresses former President Donald Trump during a court hearing ahead of his April 15 trial Mr Merchan concluded: “It is no longer just a mere possibility or a reasonable likelihood that there exists a threat to the integrity of the judicial proceeding.Mr Merchan responded after prosecutors asked him to “clarify or confirm” the scope of the gag order and to direct Mr Trump to “immediately desist from attacks on family members”.
Mr Trump’s lawyers fought the gag order and its expansion, citing constitutional concerns about restricting Mr Trump’s speech further while he is campaigning for president and fighting criminal charges. Mr Merchan said then that a state court ethics panel found Loren Merchan’s work had no bearing on his impartiality.
