Will Trump Cancel Green Bay, Wisconsin Rally After Gag Order Comes Into Effect?

During Thursday's court proceedings, Prosecutor Christopher Conroy presented Justice Juan Merchan with an additional four instances of alleged violations of the gag order by Donald Trump. The total count of violations has gone up to 14. The Justice scheduled a hearing for Wednesday at 2:15 p.m. to discuss these additional alleged violations.

Despite the gag order, the prosecution have asked the judge to find Trump in contempt for these alleged infractions, which concern remarks he made regarding possible witnesses. On this request, the judge has not yet rendered a decision.

Prosecutor Chris Conroy pointed up the first two infractions as Trump spoke to the media outside of court. Conroy went on to claim that Trump had broken the gag order when he discussed the jury selection procedure and prospective jurors' political ties in a Monday night TV interview.

CNN reports that Trump was seen turning his head aside as the examples of gag order violations were given out.

Conroy said that four other alleged infractions had happened in the previous three days, including statements made by Trump outside of the courthouse and during a campaign rally in Manhattan.

Conroy's remarks emphasized Trump's ongoing criticism of his former attorney Michael Cohen, who will testify, as well as comments made against David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, who will also appear in the trial.

Trump was cited by Conroy as stating, "He's been very nice." David has been a very lovely man, a nice guy," and they took this as a message to Pecker and others, demonstrating Trump's capacity to talk about the trial's participants in public.

Conroy concluded by underlining Trump's persistent disobedience of the gag order and his seeming readiness to publicly criticize trial participants, perhaps affecting the course of events.
