Ari Fleischer Urges Trump to Go After Judge’s Daughter — And Violate His Gag Order – By Sarah Rumpf (Mediaite) / May 10, 2024
Fox News contributor and former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer offered some questionable advice for former President Donald Trump on Friday, advising the criminal defendant to go after the judge’s daughter again, even though that would likely violate his gag order.
Trump is facing 34 felony counts for falsifying business records regarding alleged hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election — a historic first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president. The ex-president has made headlines for reportedly falling asleep repeatedly and his ongoing grumbling about the gag order imposed by Judge Juan Merchan.
The original terms of the gag order prohibited Trump from discussing witnesses, jurors or prospective jurors, prosecutors, or court staff. Merchan soon expanded that to include his relatives and relatives of the district attorney, specifically in response to social media posts Trump made attacking his daughter.
