During the recent gag order hearing, Donald Trump's legal team presented arguments that focused on constitutional issues and specific concerns related to the order. The team is expected to address three key points in their argument:
Firstly, they are likely to raise concerns about Judge Juan Merchan and his alleged conflict in the case due to his daughter's reported Democratic ties. This aspect of the case has been a point of contention for Trump's legal team.
Secondly, the team is expected to highlight the unilateral nature of the gag order in relation to Michael Cohen. They argue that the order allows Cohen to attack Trump without facing similar restrictions, which they view as unfair.
Thirdly, the legal team is anticipated to discuss Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo and how the gag order limits their ability to discuss Colangelo's past work at the Department of Justice under President Joe Biden. This restriction has been a source of frustration for Trump's team.
Additionally, the argument is likely to touch on the issue of republishing on Truth Social and whether this should be exempt from the gag order. Trump has been using quotes from others as a way to circumvent the order, although the effectiveness of this strategy remains uncertain.
Overall, the hearing is expected to delve into these key points as Trump's legal team seeks to challenge the gag order and protect their client's ability to communicate freely.
