New York Judge Apparently Looking to Stop Trump’s Big Indictment Speech

Former President Donald Trump was planning on addressing his recent indictment on Tuesday, but reports indicate that a New York judge may impose a gag order on him the day before, which would prevent him from making that speech.

The Daily Mail reports that this gag order would be put into effect on Monday, which is just one day before the scheduled arrest of the former president. The order would prohibit Trump from discussing the case, including fundraising related to it, and the penalties for violating the order could include jail time and fines. This would make it difficult for Trump to stir public outrage, which has been key to his strategy so far, and would also interfere with the 2024 presidential race.

Although some supporters may not like it, putting an end to Trump’s incessant speech may be the best thing for him at this point. The former president has to be careful with his words when dealing with court cases, especially when his social media rants hold no merit in the face of the law. It is important to exercise caution due to the high stakes involved in this particular criminal case. Consequently, Trump’s lawyers may be eager to see him refrain from discussing his legal issues publicly.
