Former President Donald Trump has expressed strong opposition to a gag order imposed by New York Judge Juan M. Merchan in his upcoming hush-money criminal trial. The gag order prohibits Trump from publicly commenting on witnesses, prosecutors, court staff, and jurors involved in the case.
Trump took to social media to denounce the gag order, labeling it as 'illegal, un-American, unConstitutional.' He accused Judge Merchan of infringing on his First Amendment rights and attempting to silence him in the face of what he perceives as political targeting by Democratic rivals.
