BREAKING: Alvin Bragg Seeks New Gag Order On Trump Ahead of ‘Hush Money’ Trial

Share

These people just don’t stop…

Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis — three peas in a pod.

And they all HATE when President Trump is allowed to speak freely.

Who’s the Dictator again?

Bragg is the latest prosecutor to seek a Judicial Order barring President Trump from speaking:

How absolutely anti-American!

This guy is a lawyer?

Maybe he was home sick the day they covered the 1st Amendment.  Or Due Process.  Or Equal Protection.

Pesky little concepts….

ABC News had more details:

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Monday asked a judge to impose a limited gag order on former President Donald Trump, who is charged in New York with falsifying business records related to hush money he paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

In their request, prosecutors cited what they called Trump’s “longstanding and perhaps singular history” of attacking people he considers to be adversaries, including those associated with his other criminal and civil cases.

The trial in Trump’s hush money case is scheduled to get underway on March 25.

Trump is already under a limited gag order in his federal election interference case in Washington, D.C., and prosecutors in Manhattan are seeking a similar “narrowly tailored order restricting certain prejudicial extrajudicial statements by defendant.”

The motion for a limited gag order on Trump’s public statements includes an affidavit from NYPD Sgt. Nicholas Pistilli, Bragg’s head of security, who noticed “an extraordinary surge” in threats against the DA after Trump began targeting him on social media.

The NYPD Threat Assessment and Protection Unit logged 89 threats against the district attorney, his family or employees of his office in 2023, the first of which occurred the same day Trump posted on social media to “protest, take our nation back!” according to the filing. In all of 2022, the same unit logged just one threat against Bragg, the filing said.

According to the filing, there were some 600 phone calls and emails that were forwarded to police for review in March 2023 alone.

The filing also included photos and screenshots of harassing messages, firearms and handwritten threats that prosecutors said demonstrate the impact of Trump’s social media posts and behavior.

The Manhattan DA’s office also asked the judge to allow the now-infamous “Access Hollywood” tape to be played for the jury. Prosecutors argued the tape is “highly relevant” to Trump’s motive for making the hush payment to Daniels to silence her accusations of a long-denied affair.

“The release of the tape — and the accompanying concerns about its possible impact on the election — are thus directly related to the Stormy Daniels payoff, which was executed just a few weeks later,” Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo wrote.

Watch as MSDNC appears almost giddy about the news:

Why do all these people hate Freedom and Free Speech so much?
