NEW YORK (AP) — Days after a New York judge expanded a gag order on Donald Trump to curtail “inflammatory” speech, the former president tested its limits by disparaging two key witnesses in his upcoming criminal hush money trial as liars.
In a post on his Truth Social platform Wednesday, Trump called his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, and the adult film actor Stormy Daniels “two sleaze bags who have, with their lies and misrepresentations, cost our Country dearly!”
In an order first made in March, and then revised on April 1, Judge Juan Merchan barred Trump from making public statements about probable trial witnesses “concerning their potential participation in the investigation or in this criminal proceeding.”
Merchan’s order didn’t give specific examples of what types of statements about witnesses were banned. He noted the order was not intended to prevent the former president from responding to political attacks.

Trump is really trying to push Judge Merchan's buttons.
So uh, are Cohen and Clifford under a similar gag order?
Didn’t think so.
Beautiful.
“AP News”
If it’s AP it’s not news, it is rancid BS.
Just try and put him in jail for violating a gag order. DO IT!! That will guarantee his victory.
His daughter is a Demmie whore.
Cohen IS a sleazebag.
Stormy is just a GoldDigger.
Although I wish you were right, I’m not at all confident that’s how it would turn out.
The crooked sleeze-bag lawyer and the whore. BTW,why did Trump hire Cohen in the first place except for that characteristic?
The kangaroo court judge arresting Trump for a First Amendment violation would be a hoot.
Associated Prostitutes.
It sounds like the Cohen and the douche are not on a witness list as of yet. Maybe the prosecutor needs his ducks in a row, and get the list available for the defense to review. The ball sack is back to you, Mr. prosecutor.
Go Trump!!
Like it will matter.
All the cases are idiotic and aimed at urban people being bigoted and prejudice towards Trump and supporters.
They both lied under oath. The judge knows this.
EC
Trump behavior is not Presidential .
Its Thuggish and only helps Dem Female turnout .
He is playing right into the Dems hands .
We are going to get Wiped out in November .
It’s a shame that a worthless troll such as yourself remains on FR after all these years. No matter how much it hurts your little leftist feelings, Trump will still win.
Gads..... go grab your binky, crayons, and a sucker. Find your safe space and have at it.
“Likely witnesses”? They are either on the States witness list or they aren’t.
Every word of yours is a lie, including "and" and "the."
It's not Trump's fault you believe AP, which neglected to report Trump was responding to a Michael Avenatti tweet slamming the ridiculous gag order on Trump but not Daniels and Cohen.
