LISTEN HERE
The legal team representing the former President of the United States, Donald Trump, is currently gearing up for a hearing in a New York court where a judge is expected to issue a gag order against him. As per the latest reports, this hearing is scheduled to take place on Monday, and if the gag order is indeed issued, it would prevent Trump from making any public statements related to the ongoing investigation against him.
This development comes at a time when Trump is already facing intense legal scrutiny and a number of criminal investigations, including a probe into his business dealings and tax payments. The potential imposition of a gag order on the former President is likely to further escalate the already volatile situation and possibly trigger a backlash from his supporters.

The legal team representing former President Donald Trump is reportedly contemplating the addition of a First Amendment specialist to their legal counsel to bolster their efforts in fighting the possible imposition of the gag order.
The First Amendment is the cornerstone of American democracy, enshrining the right to freedom of speech, expression, and the press. It is in this context that the addition of a First Amendment lawyer to Trump’s legal team is seen as a strategic move to challenge any potential gag order, which could be seen as a violation of the former president’s First Amendment rights.
If the Manhattan Court puts a gag order on President Trump after he turns himself in on Tuesday, it will be the biggest act of Election Interference that our Country has ever seen.
Worse than the rigged machines, fake ballots, or even the prosecution itself.
Let him speak!

It is worth noting that breaking the potential gag order would incur serious consequences under New York law. Any violation of the gag order could result in a fine of up to $1000 and a prison sentence of up to 30 days, further underscoring the significance of this legal development.
As Trump’s legal team prepares to fight this legal battle in court, the implications of this move for both the former president and the American legal system remain uncertain. However, it is clear that the case will continue to generate significant public interest and political debate in the coming days and weeks, and its outcome could have far-reaching consequences for the future of American democracy.

his campaign team had announced that he was to deliver a speech at his opulent Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, on the evening of Tuesday, the 4th of April, 2023. However, recent developments have thrown this announcement into question
Trump apparently plans on giving a televised address on Tuesday night following his arraignment. Should….
1) The networks carry his speech?
2) The judge issue a gag order Tuesday morning and prevent the speech?— Lovable Liberal and his Old English sheepdog (@DougWahl1) April 2, 2023
According to a spokesman for Mr. Trump’s campaign, any such move would be an infringement of his First Amendment rights and a display of tyrannical behavior. The statement further alleges that such actions would be indicative of a third-world country’s tactics and further underscores that the current situation is nothing but a political witch-hunt orchestrated through the use of a weaponized justice system.
The spokesperson’s use of the term “weaponized justice system” implies that the legal system is being utilized for political purposes, and the statement suggests that Mr. Trump’s right to free speech is being targeted as part of this agenda.
RINO's ,Soros ,DA Bragg, along w Biden administration are behind Trump indictment. Their goal is to arrest him, charge with felony. To put gag order where he cannot campaign & in the end will be removed from 2024 Presidential campaign. RNC want biddable DeSantis on ticket. pic.twitter.com/xeIhmAWrLT

The notion of political persecution is often utilized by political figures facing legal issues, and the statement is likely an attempt to garner sympathy and support from Mr. Trump’s base.
‘All Americans should be concerned about their rights being violated and any attempt to obstruct President Trump’s right to use his voice in order to speak truth to power should never be tolerated. The whole targeted crusade is a complete political farce by the Manhattan DA meant to manipulate and interfere with an election against President Trump and his supporters.’
Here’s what the folks online had to say;

I’m torn. On the one hand I want the gag order about the case because I know he will violate it.
On the other hand, every time he talks he confesses to something new.
Once these right-wing interviewers start asking him about the specifics, he will say dumb incriminating shit.
