In a now-deleted post on Truth Social, Trump said he was told Tuesday that Daniels would be called on to testify, that it was"unprecedented" and gave his lawyers"no time" to prepare. He also accused Merchan of being"crooked and highly conflicted" and complained that Merchan was taking away his First Amendment rights through a gag order.
On Monday, Merchan threatened Trump with jail time if he continues to violate the court's gag order. The gag order limits Trump from disparaging potential witnesses and others involved in the case. Merchan said Trump has violated the gag order 10 times, fining him $1,000 for each violation.
