"Courts Tackle Harassment Amid Trump's Gag Orders"
Former President Donald Trump's confrontational approach towards the courts in civil and criminal trials is raising concerns about the potential risks he faces. Trump has already violated gag orders imposed by judges in New York and Washington, D.C., resulting in fines. His inflammatory public statements targeting court staff, witnesses, and lawyers have been deemed potentially dangerous and have led to threats and harassment. While the courts have the power to impose stricter sanctions, they may be hesitant to do so due to concerns about playing into Trump's victimhood narrative and escalating the situation. Protecting jurors, witnesses, and court staff from harassment will become increasingly challenging as Trump's trials progress.
