A former New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer has responded to a report in the Daily Caller about the gag order New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Marchan issued to former President Donald Trump.
Allies of the former president told callers they were outraged by the gag order that prevented Trump from speaking about officials and jurors involved in hush money cases. The judge held him in contempt of court for violating the gag order and fined him $9,000.
Trump’s team said the gag order would tie the hands of his entire campaign ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
“The gag order applies to the president himself, and prohibits him from directing or ordering others to do it. So legally, it basically applies to his It applies to everyone who works under him. And since he is basically considered the campaign chairman or the head of the campaign, this campaign applies to all campaign staff. ” a source told the caller.

Attorney Paul Mauro told Fox News’ Harris Faulkner that Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen is monetizing a TikTok livestream in which he posted a caricature of Trump in an orange jumpsuit online. He said the case was clearly “concocted” against the former president, given that admission.
“If you’re watching Michael Cohen make money by criticizing and essentially satirizing Donald Trump on TikTok, yet Donald Trump never publicly pleads to rejoin. Unforgiven, which means Michael Cohen has “crossed the line and is not telling the truth. I’m really starting to feel like this whole thing is rigged against him, and that’s exactly how I feel.” Mauro said Friday.
President Trump and his campaign are prohibited from talking about Cohen and Michael Colangelo, the lead prosecutor in the case who previously served as acting attorney general in the Biden administration’s Justice Department.
“Democrats are watching very closely what they say on TRUTH social, whatever they post on their campaign websites, and it gets filtered right away by Alvin Bragg. He has a very easy communication channel. “And it’s pretty well established between Democrats and Democrats in his office,” the source told the whistleblower.
Mike Davis, president of the Article III Project, told the Caller that such “unconstitutional” restrictions have never been imposed on a presidential candidate.
“This unconstitutional and un-American gag order is another weapon used by Biden and his minions to silence their biggest political rival, President Trump. “You can make money by bashing him, but because of this illegal gag order, Mr. Trump can’t comply,” Davis said. “As a result, all of President Trump’s opponents can get rough with him without worrying about what he will say to refute their claims. This gag order This sets a dangerous precedent for the future.”
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges how President Trump falsified business records to conceal $130,000 hush money payment from Cohen to former porn actress Stormy Daniels He is on trial related to 34 indictments. Prosecutors allege that Trump kept his alleged affair with Daniels private and used those alleged payments to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
President Trump has denied the affair allegations and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
