Karoline Leavitt Speaks Out on Newsmax: Trump’s Gag Order Infringes on His Rights
The gag order placed on former President Donald Trump in his business records trial in Manhattan is deemed “outrageous and unconstitutional” by Karoline Leavitt, his campaign press secretary. She stated on Wednesday on Newsmax that the absence of a ruling on the matter continues to violate his First Amendment rights.
Leavitt criticized the judge’s decision to reserve judgment on whether Trump breached the gag order, while prosecutors argued that his sharing of news articles and videos constituted further violations.
She expressed outrage over the restrictions that prevent Trump from defending himself against slander and lies, and accused the Democrat judge of showing disdain towards the former president. Prosecutors have requested fines and jail time for Trump for each alleged violation of the gag order.
Leavitt believes that the case is an attempt to hinder Trump’s potential candidacy and limit his ability to communicate with the public. Despite the challenges, she emphasized that Trump remains defiant and will continue to campaign.
Leavitt also discussed the recent primary in Pennsylvania, highlighting the continued support for Trump among Republican and independent voters. She encouraged disillusioned Democrats to consider Trump as an alternative to President Joe Biden.
