"Trump's Continued Attacks on Judges' Families Risk Violating Expanded Gag Order"

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan expanded a gag order to prevent the former president from attacking the families of court officials, including the judge and the district attorney. This decision came after Trump targeted the daughter of the judge in social media posts. The judge cited the recent attacks against his daughter and rejected Trump's argument that his statements were "core political speech," stating that such attacks serve no legitimate purpose and only inject fear into those involved in the proceedings.

"Trump's Target: Judges' Families Under Fire"

Former President Trump has been targeting the spouses and children of judges overseeing his legal cases, including the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over Trump's criminal trial. Trump's attacks have led to a gag order restricting his speech about witnesses, prosecutors, and court staff, but not explicitly barring attacks on the judges or their families. This is not the first time Trump has directed personal attacks at the families of his perceived foes, as he has a history of turning his qualms against any perceived foes personal.

Trump's Attacks on Judge's Family and Defense Lawyer Cause Controversy.

Former President Donald Trump attacked the family of Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over his indictment in Manhattan, calling them "Trump-hating" without providing any evidence. This came just hours after the judge warned Trump not to make comments that could endanger others. Trump faces 34 felony charges of falsifying business records brought against him by the Manhattan District Attorney's office. Trump has a history of attacking his critics and their family members, including Elaine Chao, the wife of Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi.
