Appeals court rejects Trump's bid to overturn gag order
While Cohen is testifying a mid-level appeals court has denied Trump's latest effort to throw out the gag order that has been imposed on him.
Trump asserted the order violated his right to free speech and left him unable to respond to criticisms from people like Cohen.
The order, imposed by Justice Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the trial, prohibits Trump from making public comments about jurors, witnesses, and families of the judge and prosecutors if meant to interfere with the case.
Kind of moot now, that Trump has smartly started using high profile surrogates to get his message across.
If anything, a subdued restrained Trump is much more of an appeal to the electorate. LOL... Backfiring on the dims again.
