Gag Order? Trump Legal Team Expects Manhattan Judge To Silence Former President

• Zero Hedge

Update (1208ET): Donald Trump's legal team thinks a New York judge may slap a gag order on the former president, the Daily Mail reports.

"The Trump legal team now thinks that the Manhattan judge will take the unprecedented step of silencing the presidential frontrunner with an unconstitutional gag order tomorrow," one source told the Mail. "The Trump legal team is considering adding a First Amendment lawyer to the effort to combat this and will fight it all the way.'"

If Trump breaks an imposed gag order, he risks a $1,000 fine and as much as 30 days in prison under New York law.

If a gag order is imposed, a previously announced Tuesday evening speech from Trump's Mar-a-Lago home may now be in doubt.
