Former President Donald Trump's public statements may come back to haunt him in his ongoing legal battles, legal experts warn.
The former president was issued a limited gag order by New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron earlier this month as part of his civil business fraud trial. On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan — the judge in Trump's federal election case — imposed another partial gag order, prohibiting him from publicly attacking witnesses or prosecutors. A person close to Trump told The Washington Post that his legal team has never instructed him to not post on social media; however, the source admitted that Trump's provocative speech has only further muddied the waters of his legal woes and stymied his attorneys from succeeding at their jobs.
