This could easily be a hoax. Until this is thoroughly investigated, there's not much to say about this.

New York's highest court leaves Trump gag order in hush money case in effect

Source: CNN Politics

Updated 9:55 AM EDT, Tue June 18, 2024

CNN — New York’s highest court has declined to hear Donald Trump’s appeal on the gag order in his hush money case, according to a decision list posted Tuesday.

The gag order, issued by Judge Juan Merchan in the criminal case against Trump, remains in effect. Separately, Trump has asked Merchan to terminate the gag order ahead of his sentencing scheduled for July. The former president was convicted of 34 counts of business fraud relating to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump’s lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In March, just before the trial started, Merchan granted prosecutors’ request for a gag order that precluded Trump from making public statements about any witnesses in the case, jurors, prosecutors, court staff, or members of their family. Trump was not restricted from commenting on the judge or Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Merchan fined Trump $10,000 and found him in criminal contempt for violating the gag order 10 times early in the trial and raised the prospect that he might have to jail Trump if he continued to do so.

Jack Smith Has a New Request for Aileen Cannon

Source: Newsweek

Published Jun 21, 2024 at 10:36 PM EDT

Special Counsel Jack Smith is asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to urgently grant his request to thwart what he called "foreseeable danger to law enforcement" posed by former President Donald Trump.

Smith filed a motion last month seeking to modify the conditions of Trump's release by preventing him from speaking about law enforcement related to his federal classified documents case, also known as a "gag order." The move came days after Trump suggested that the FBI hoped to assassinate him during the August 2022 raid of his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.

In a court filing on Friday, Smith urged Cannon, a Trump appointee frequently accused of bias favoring the former president, to allow his request while citing a new piece of evidence to support his case. The special counsel claimed that a Trump supporter's alleged recent threat to an FBI agent meant that the danger posed by the ex-president is "imminent."

"Statements that present a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to the law enforcement agents working on this case pose a significant and imminent threat to the integrity of these criminal proceedings," Smith writes in the filing. The special counsel's filing then cites a June 11 incident involving a Texas man who allegedly contacted and threatened an FBI agent working on an investigation of Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden.
