In a clever move, Donald Trump may have found a way to circumvent his court-ordered gag order by using supporters to speak for him.
Legal analysts have raised concerns that Trump’s tactics could be in violation of the order, which prohibits him from speaking about the jury or potential witnesses in the hush money case. Trump’s supporters have been echoing his sentiments outside the courtroom, potentially mirroring notes he passed to them.
The gag order, issued by Justice Juan Merchan, has been violated by Trump on multiple occasions, resulting in fines and warnings of potential jail time.
Trump’s supporters, including Senator Tommy Tuberville, have urged fellow Republicans to help him “overcome” the gag order, raising concerns that Trump is using surrogates to mouth his words.
Legal experts argue that this tactic is specifically prohibited by the court order. If found in violation, Trump could face further contempt charges and potentially even jail time. The situation highlights Trump’s continued disregard for legal boundaries and his willingness to exploit any opportunity to shape public opinion.
