“The gag order doesn’t just protect the potential and actual witnesses that Trump would otherwise target, but also other potential witnesses who see the attacks,” Conroy said.
Merchan made that point when he previously addressed the Trump team’s complaint that Trump can’t attack Michael Cohen’s likely participation in the hush money trial, even though Cohen regularly attacks Trump on public platforms.
Modifying the gag order “would signal to future witnesses that they could be at risk as well,” Conroy said.
Trump lawyer Todd Blanche is asking for accommodation when it comes to Judge Merchan’s gag order so that Trump can respond to porn star Stormy Daniels’ testimony.
