Gag Orders Assault More Than Free Speech Rights

Even before jury selection got underway in the “hush money” trial against Donald Trump, someone else was already working behind the scenes to quash the gag order the court had placed on the former president.

Lawyers and pundits alike began screaming foul from the moment Judge Juan Merchan entered the order, arguing that it infringes upon Trump’s free expression rights as guaranteed under the First Amendment.

Merchan has since repeatedly found Trump in violation of the order.
