Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman said Wednesday that the gag order recently imposed on former President Trump in his New York hush money trial is “so unusual.”
“I think what the viewers have to understand is, this is so unusual,” Akerman told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield in an interview. “This never happens, in over 50 years of law practice, both as a prosecutor, a defense lawyer.
Akerman emphasized the unprecedented nature of how Trump’s case has unfolded, and that his attacks on Judge Juan Merchan could get the former president in “harm’s way.”
Not only is the gag order itself unusual, Akerman noted, but Trump’s conduct in the courtroom that warranted the action from Merchan stood out to the attorney.

what is actually so unusual is that these judges with obvious conflicts of interest are not stepping aside.
They found his name on an old-school Rolodex.
The title gives a whole different idea as to what this guy said. This is an anti-Trump blog.
Trump slammed Merchan on Wednesday for imposing the gag order, calling it “illegal, un-American, unConstitutional.”
“This Judge, by issuing a vicious ‘Gag Order,’ is wrongfully attempting to deprive me of my First Amendment Right to speak out against the Weaponization of Law Enforcement,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, “including the fact that Crooked Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and their Hacks and Thugs are tracking and following me all across the Country, obsessively trying to persecute me, while everyone knows I have done nothing wrong!”
He’s so full of sh!t, defendants commonly berate their accusers... DA’s judges etc., it happens all the time.
Lying POS.
Giving Conservatives more tools to use in the future.
This whole far-left LYNCHING of a former President by America’s Official HATE MONGERS is unusual. Every one of the slimeballs need their commie asses thrown in prison without their cellphone security blankets.
“Harms way” ?
Has that guy seen Trump’s security team? He ain’t going to jail.
I can’t wait to have 0bama and the Clintons thrown in prison.
This is the 34-felony case for something that normally isn't prosecuted. It all started with Trump being blackmailed by a porn actress who knew that she could make up a totally bogus accusation without any evidence and enough people would believe it that it would hurt Trump in the election.
You will be waiting until long, long after Hell freezes over then. I wish it would but it is not going to happen.
Never heard of Nick Akerman before. Is he related to Amos T. Akerman, Attorney General under President Grant?
I suspect a lot of our corrupt liberal 'judges' got their jobs based on updated democrat KKK 'values'... in our time that means jobs based on Kolor, Kink and/or Kin... (who's your daddy).
Our courts don't had out justice they hand out favors to democrats, perverts and criminals.. and to Republican they hand out exorbitant fines and jail sentences if they can get away with it.
“Giving Conservatives more tools to use in the future.”
Which they won’t use because “muh optics.”
