Donald Trump might not be talking about the most significant development of his campaign next week. After his arraignment, reported to be as soon as Tuesday, he will likely no longer be allowed to talk about the case or the charges brought against him.
When Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation into hush money payments Trump made in 2016 resulted in the first indictment of a former president in U.S. history, the rules for Trump’s third White House run changed. After his arraignment, reported to be as soon as Tuesday, Trump will likely no longer be allowed to talk about the case or the charges brought against him.
Shortly after it was announced on Thursday evening he had made history as the first former president ever to be charged with a crime, Trump released a prepared statement from his campaign, followed by an off-the-cuff attack on the situation. His Truth Social feed has been filled with frustrated attacks on Bragg and Manhattan’s acting Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, who is expected to arraign Trump.
As Merchan considers how to handle the historic problem of handling criminal charges against a former president and current top candidate for the presidential nomination, attorneys acknowledged a gag order will be difficult to enforce. Former Indiana Attorney General Jeff Modisett told the outlet the unique position Merchan and Trump makes the problems around gag orders and the First Amendment even thornier.
