EXCLUSIVE Trump's lawyers believe a Manhattan judge will impose a GAG order on Monday that will BAN him talking about his Tuesday arrest in NYC - with a penalty of 30 DAYS jail time or $1,000 fine

Donald Trump's legal team is preparing for a New York judge to slap a gag order on the former president on Monday, DailyMail.com can reveal, a day before he is due to be arrested in Manhattan.

The extraordinary move to potentially silence a candidate for president will likely enflame Trump's supporters as he prepares to fly out of his Florida home.

'The Trump legal team now thinks that the Manhattan judge will take the unprecedented step of silencing the presidential frontrunner with an unconstitutional gag order tomorrow,' said a source.

'The Trump legal team is considering adding a First Amendment lawyer to the effort to combat this and will fight it all the way.'

Breaking the gag order could trigger a fine of $1000 and a prison sentence of as much as 30 days, under New York law.

Sure, hit President Trump with a gag order, which you KNOW they'll enforce to the fullest extent possible, yet there is no consequences for all of the leaks coming out of the DA's office about confidential Grand Jury proceedings.

The FIX is IN.

He would have been better off staying in Fla. and daring them to extradite.

Sad that integrity doesn’t have the upper hand.

Trump doesn’t need to say a word. He needs to let his lawer’s enter his “not guilty” plea. He has 80 million spokespeople...

Shades of "Scarface?" Trump making his last stand in Mar-a-Lago? "Say hello to my little friend!"

No, not a chance, but it does make for great daydreaming.

Trump will need to campaign, and to do that he needs to travel. His best bet is to get these charges dismissed as quickly and as humiliatingly for the DA as possible.

I believe (and hope) Trump will give a barn-burner speech, regardless.

Bring it, Bragg....

Trump can be very sly while speaking to a live audience. He will talk around the topic talk up to the topic, then make a show of NOT actually talking about ‘you know what’. He audiences know him well enough.

The fix is in all right I just hope Trump doesn’t slip up and say something they can get him on. Face it Trump isn’t the type to stay silent lol. But the more they persecute and jerk him around the more people become sympathetic to him. Even some Dems have come out and said the DA is going overboard with this stuff.

I doubt Trump will be quiet. I certainly hope not

Let some judge arrest him. Americans are watching

It will be a big stake in the heart of the US “Justice system”

Trump doesn’t need to say a word.

Trump rarely "needs" to say anything. But do you think that's stopped him in the past?

Have you seen what he's already "Truthed" about the presiding judge? It isn't going to put Trump in the judge's good graces, that's for sure.

The Corrupt D.A. has no case. What he does have is a venue where it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to get a Fair Trial (it must be changed!), and a Trump Hating Judge, hand selected by the Soros backed D.A. (he must be changed!). Also has the DOJ working in the D.A.’s Office - Unprecedented!

I believe the gag order applies to all members of Trumps team.

A 5 trillion dollar lawsuit against the city should be a starter.

He should violate it and take the 30 days in jail and violate it while he’s in jail.

If one is a lawyer, don’t you want your client to not comment publicly on the matter?

We know and they know he cant keep quiet, thats why the gag order is guaranteed. Its a way for him to do jail time even before the kangaroo court convicts him.

I find it mind-boggling that so many Freepers truly believe that Trump will come out ahead on all of this. The country is truly lost.
