In a recent legal exchange between Judge Juan Merchan and Trump attorney Todd Blanche, the issue of whether President Trump's use of the word 'pardon' could potentially violate a gag order was brought to light.
During the discussion, Judge Merchan raised concerns about the implications of Trump's mention of a pardon in relation to the gag order. Merchan questioned whether simply using the word 'pardon' could be seen as a violation of the order.
