Prosecutor Links Trump's Post To Gag Order Violation In Trial

Donald Trump to testify in New York civil fraud trial

During a recent court hearing, prosecutor Chris Conroy highlighted a post made by former President Donald Trump on April 10. In the post, Trump referred to Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniels, and Michael Cohen as 'two sleazebags.' Conroy argued that Trump's comments were a clear violation of the gag order in place for the trial.

The judge requested Conroy to explain how the post directly violated the gag order. Conroy pointed out that by attacking the credibility of Avenatti, Daniels, and Cohen, Trump was intentionally trying to influence the trial proceedings. Conroy stated, 'By calling them sleazebags and going after their credibility, I think that’s all part of the plan for this trial. There is no other reason to be talking about that than related to this.'

Trump's post has sparked controversy and raised concerns about potential interference in the trial. The prosecution is adamant that such actions undermine the integrity of the legal process and must be addressed promptly.
