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.

Thuggish? The word normally implies physical violence...and certainly can apply to Antifa and BLM and those burning down buildings and attacking innocent victims. By metaphorical extension it might apply to the absurd lawfare against Trump. But with all that thuggery going on against Trump and anybody who stands with him...to call Trump's behavior "thuggish" is absurd.
Another “mean tweeter”. Don’t you realize President Trump is playing the game by their Saul Alinsky rules. Was Saul your mentor?
You don’t know how people turn out till after you work with them. Do you have everyone you worked with or befriended with you from say 20 years ago?
My mother used to say you don’t know people really, till after their claws come out.
