Trump tests gag order by again attacking daughter of hush money trial judge: Live

Ms Willis spoke to a CNN reporter on Saturday and said that while outside forces were working to slow the case down, her office had continued working on the case throughout the recent proceedings determining whether there was a conflict of interest on Ms Willis’s part given a romantic relationship she engaged in with a prosecutor on her team.

The Independent‘s Andrew Feinberg and Eric Garcia report on how the Trump and Biden campaigns plan to respond to polling data that suggest almost 25 per cent of Black voters would back the former president — mostly Black men.

President Joe Biden is erasing his polling deficit with his likely Republican election opponent in a number of key states that will decide the outcome of this year’s presidential contest, according to a new survey by Bloomberg and Morning Consult.

Andrew Feinberg looks at the data:

The judge’s order, issued hours after Mr Trump lashed out at his daughter on his Truth Social, blocks the former president from making any such statements “made with the intent to materially interfere” with any work in the case, which is scheduled to go to trial on April 15.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg requested a limited gag order last month, citing Mr. Trump’s “long history” of “inflammatory” remarks aimed at the prosecutors, judges, court staff and others wrapped up in his mountain of criminal and civil litigation.

A Texas man has legally changed his name to “Literally Anybody Else” and has launched a bid for the 2024 presidential election.

“It’s not necessarily about me as a person, but it’s about literally anybody else as an idea,” the Dallas resident told news outlet WFAA88.

“Three hundred million people can do better,” he said of presidential frontrunners Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Cesar Conde, NBCUniversal News Group chairman, informed staff they would be severing ties with Ms McDaniel in a memo on Tuesday that read: “After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor.’

Joe Summerlad reports on the decision:

Here’s more on Trump’s calculated attempt to spin Kennedy’s presidential run as though it only represents a threat to Biden, not to him.

Donald Trump is awake and posting on Truth Social after his late-night attacks on RFK Jr and NBC as he was riding high after receiving his golf club championship trophy.

This morning the former president posted a three-part diatribe about his upcoming criminal trial concerning the hush-money payments he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election campaign.

Mr Trump feels aggrieved, as demonstrated on Truth Social this morning:

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!

Page 2: 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 DA 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?

Page 3: The Judge has to recuse himself immediately, and right the wrong committed by not doing so last year. If the Biased and Conflicted Judge is allowed to stay on this Sham “Case,” it will be another sad example of our Country becoming a Banana Republic, not the America we used to know and love. These are Election Interfering Witch Hunts. We will crush each one of these Hoaxes, and Make America Great Again!

There is no evidence to suggest that President Joe Biden is in any way interfering in local and state prosecutions of the former president, nor is there at the federal level, as Special Counsel Jack Smith is managing those investigations and charges.

Not convinced by Big Jesus Trump?

How about Charles Manson Trump?
