BREAKING: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg brings down the hammer on Donald Trump, slams his attacks on the hush money trial judge's daughter, and demands that the gag order be expanded to protect her.
Bragg really didn't hold back this time...
"Defendantβs dangerous, violent, and reprehensible rhetoric fundamentally threatens the integrity of these proceedings and is intended to intimidate witnesses and trial participants alikeβ including this Court," writes prosecutor Matthew Colangelo in the new filing.
The gag order has been getting more and more media attention as Trump has escalated his attacks on Judge Juan Merchan and his innocent daughter. The order bars Trump from attacking court staff, prosecutors, jurors, and witnesses β but clearly it doesn't go far enough.
Bragg is asking the judge to clarify and/or expand the existing gag order to protect the judge's family as well as Bragg's.
Prosecutors were able to cite over a half-dozen Truth Social posts from Trump over the past week, including a disgusting smear attack against the judge's daughter for supporting progressive causes.
"This issue is not complicated. Family members of trial participants must be strictly off- limits," Colangelo writes.
"Defendantβs insistence to the contrary bespeaks a dangerous sense of entitlement to instigate fear and even physical harm to the loved ones of those he sees in the courtroom," he goes on.
"This Court should immediately make clear that defendant is prohibited from making or directing others to make public statements about family members of the Court, the District Attorney, and all other individuals mentioned in the Order," he adds.
Additionally, prosecutors want the judge to formally warn Trump that "continued harassing or disruptive conduct" will make him lose access to the names of trial jurors β since he clearly cannot be trusted with the information.
The time for action is now.
