Trump selling Bibles and taking a cut of the income
Washington Post - Donald Trump was hit with a limited gag order ahead of his hush money trial.The former president can’t talk about witnesses, prosecutors and potential jurors who’ll be part of the trial, which starts April 15 in New York. Trump is known for making false claims about people he disagrees with. Hours before the order was issued yesterday, he attacked the judge’s daughter on social media.
Guardian - On Monday, Judge Juan Merchan set a date of 15 April for Trump’s New York hush-money trial, rejecting requests from Trump’s attorneys to delay it by at least 90 days.At that hearing, which took place on the day the trial had initially been scheduled to begin, Merchan seemed irritated by Trump’s team’s attempts for more delay, pressing them repeatedly on their claims that Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg’s office had dragged its feet on turning over thousands of pages of evidence when it was federal prosecutors’ offices who had those documents.“It’s odd that we’re even here,” Merchan told Trump attorney Todd Blanche at one point in the hearing. He later declared that Trump’s attorneys had “been given a reasonable amount of time to prepare”...Trump stands accused of diverting hundreds of thousands of dollars from his business to his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election in an attempt to conceal stories about extramarital affairs with adult actor Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, then falsely describing the expenses as legal costs in business documents. Trump is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records, a class E felony.According to prosecutors, Cohen paid $130,000 to Daniels and coordinated with the publisher of the gossip tabloid the National Enquirer to give McDougal $150,000, to keep their accounts of sexual encounters with Trump, which he denies, out of the headlines. Trump’s company then allegedly repaid Cohen $420,000 to cover those costs, fraudulently listing them as legitimate business expenses.
Boing Boing - Well, it took less than 24 hours for Trump to write another post
denigrating the judge and his daughter. This morning on Truth Social,
Trump issued a two-part screed complaining about the gag order (which he
is allowed to do) and making inflammatory statements against the
judge's daughter that are sure to rile up his lunatic base:
Judge Juan Merchan, who is suffering from an acute case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (whose daughter represents Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam "Shifty" Schiff, and other Radical Liberals, has just posted a picture of me behind bars, her obvious goal, and makes it completely impossible for me to get a fair trial) has now issued another illegal, un-American, unConstitutional "order," as he continues to try and take away my Rights. This Judge, by issuing a vicious "Gag Order," is wrongfully attempting to deprive me of my First Amendment Right to speak out against the Weaponization of Law Enforcement, including the fact that Crooked Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and their Hacks and Thugs are tracking and following me all across the Country, obsessively trying to persecute me, while everyone knows I have done nothing wrong! ... So, let me get this straight, the Judge's daughter is allowed to post pictures of her "dream" of putting me in jail, the
Manhattan D.A. is able to say whatever lies about me he wants, the Judge can violate our Laws and Constitution at every turn, but I am not allowed to talk about the attacks against me, and the Lunatics trying to destroy my life, and prevent me from winning the 2024 Presidential Election, which I am dominating? Maybe the Judge is such a hater because his daughter makes money by working to "Get Trump," and when he rules against me over and over again, he is making her company, and her, richer and richer. How can this be allowed?
