Hush money prosecutors say gag order covers judge’s daughter after Trump attacks
Manhattan prosecutors and former President Trump are sparring over the scope of the gag order imposed on the former president in his hush money criminal case less than three weeks out from the star…
You're viewing a single thread.
Why is the prosecutors saying this, and not the, you know, judge who handed down the gag order. Why are all of these judges such pussies when it comes to holding Trump to account and in contempt? The prosecutor has zero power over what Trump continues to be allowed and able to do, only the judge does.
Maybe it's just procedural?
The original order didn’t specifically cover the judge
which can be rectified by the judge (not the prosecutor) at literally at any time
I don’t think they typically include a judge though. Gag orders are usually to protect the case, whether that’s to limit witness tampering/intimidation or to stop the press from getting info. Anyone can file a motion at any time to do whatever they want, but a judge doesn’t have to honor that motion.
If jurors see the judge and his daughter getting death threats (thats next), how protected are the jurors going to feel rendering a decision? This absolutely affects the case.
