Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose campaign coffers were significantly boosted by the backing of left-wing billionaire George Soros, has taken steps to hold former President Donald Trump in contempt of court.
The motion filed alleges that Trump breached a gag order imposed by Judge Juan Merchan during the jury selection phase of the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial.
Earlier this month, Judge Merchan, known for his left-leaning stance, expanded the gag order against Trump, prohibiting the former president from criticizing his family members. This followed a prior gag order issued by Merchan in March, which directed Trump to refrain from making public statements about witnesses and jurors in the Stormy Daniels case.
Trump’s critique of Judge Merchan’s daughter, despite her not being a witness or juror, prompted the contempt motion from Bragg’s office.
In response, Trump took to Truth Social, lambasting Judge Merchan and reaffirming his commitment to speaking the truth, even if it meant facing consequences akin to a modern-day Nelson Mandela.
The Manhattan DA’s motion specifically cited Trump’s labeling of Michael Cohen as a “disgraced attorney and felon” and his characterization of Merchan and prosecutors as “thugs” as evidence of willful violation of the court’s directives.
