Alvin Bragg Asks Judge to Gag Trump Ahead of ‘Hush Money’ Trial

Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg asked Judge Merchan to gag Trump ahead of the ‘hush money’ trial scheduled for March 25.

“[Trump] has a long history of making public and inflammatory remarks about the participants in various judicial proceedings against him, including jurors, witnesses, lawyers and court staff,” prosecutors said in their filing, according to ABC News. Prosecutors added that Trump’s remarks “pose a significant and imminent threat to the orderly administration of this criminal proceeding.”

ABC News reported:

 

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Monday asked a judge to impose a gag order on former President Donald Trump, who is charged in New York with falsifying business records related to hush money he paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Trump is already under a limited gag order in his federal election interference case in Washington, D.C., and prosecutors in Manhattan are seeking a similar “narrowly tailored order restricting certain prejudicial extrajudicial statements by defendant.”

Far-left NYC Judge Juan Merchan ruled that Trump’s trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case brought by Alvin Bragg will begin March 25.

Judge Merchan issued the ruling after a judge in Jack Smith’s January 6 case postponed the March 4 trial date. He also turned down requests for a delay from Trump’s legal team.

“It is completely election interference to say ‘you are going to sit in this courtroom in Manhattan,” said Trump’s defense lawyer Todd Blanche.

Alvin Bragg indicted Trump last April on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.

Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

The payments made to Stormy Daniels did NOT come from Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The payments were made through internal business records – there was no tax deduction taken and there was no obligation to file it with the FEC, according to Trump attorney Joe Tacopina.

Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Trump was hit with a criminal charge for every payment he made to his former lawyer Michael Cohen in connection with the ‘hush payments’ to the two women.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg went through the Trump Organization’s ledger and charged him down the line per payment to Cohen.

Every single payment to Michael Cohen was made in 2017 while Trump was president.

Bragg’s office copy and pasted the same charge 34 times and just switched out the check or voucher number.

Alvin Bragg didn’t explain what exactly he wanted to convict Trump of in the charging documents.

Bragg told reporters he doesn’t have to tell anyone what the underlying felony is.

He’s just allowed to charge Trump with 34 felonies without explaining what the underlying offense was.

I don’t think that this type of settlement money is illegal.

[kiryandil]

Alvin Bragg don’t want nobody talkin’ smack about his Clown Circus.

[Mark]

50 more buses need to visit that city—just for the tourists.

[lurk]

Before Trump says a word.

The judge is hostile. This case could result in conviction.

[shanover]

It’s only “hush money” when Trump has NON-DISCLOSURE agreements. It’s perfectly legal. Why is it that these women get to break them and nothing happens?

[yesthatjallen]

Non-disclosure agreement or “hush” money?

[butlerweave]

Is Alvin frisky like Fani ?

[yesthatjallen]

They’re doing this because they know Trump will talk about the case and they can then fine him millions.

[mass55th]

Alvin Bragg indeed, does cause one to gag.

[Verginius Rufus]

Trump denied that they ever had an affair. It made sense to pay her not to make the claim publicly because some people would believe it despite zero evidence and it would have cost Trump votes.

DANEGELD
-Rudyard Kipling

IT IS always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: –
“We invaded you last night – we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ‘em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: –
“Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: —

“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!”

[dpetty121263]

Just say no to this Judge,,,

[antidemoncrat]

So is SCOTUS aka Supreme Court of the US going to step up and rule on the DAs apparently unconstitutional rulings or continue to be SCOTUS aka Supreme Clowns of the US?

[william clark]

So he won’t be able to refer to DA Scumbragg?

[Gideon7]

As far as I can tell, Bragg’s whole case is that Trump had wrongly recorded the payment as a legal expense instead of a contractual agreement. That’s it.

No effect on his taxes, FEC filings, or anything else.

[Verginius Rufus]

If “Blaxit” gains momentum and more and more African Americans move to Africa, what will makers of commercials do? They will have to send teams to Africa to film commercials.

[DouglasKC]

Again they don’t want trump to be able to defend himself in public while they are free to attack him and impugn him all they want.

Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg should have been in front of the bar on false charges long ago.

The justice system appears to be rotting faster then 3 day old fish.
