Trump could be gagged by Manhattan Judge

The  Judge will take the unprecedented step of silencing the Presidential Frontrunner with an Unconstitutional Gag Order

• Trump could be gagged by a Manhattan court on Monday ahead of hearing 

• His legal team is considering hiring a First Amendment lawyer, a source said

• It comes as Trump goes to New York to be formally arraigned 

Donald Trump‘s legal team is preparing for a New York judge to slap a gag order on the former president on Monday, DailyMail.com can reveal, a day before he is due to be arrested in Manhattan.

The extraordinary move to potentially silence a candidate for president will likely enflame Trump’s supporters as he [leaves] his Florida home.

‘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,’ said a source.

‘The Trump legal team is considering adding a First Amendment lawyer to the effort to combat this and will fight it all the way.’

Breaking the gag order could trigger a fine of $1000 and a prison sentence of as much as 30 days, under New York law.

Donald Trump has kept up an appearance of business as usual and is seen here playing golf on Sunday. But on Monday, his legal team are preparing for him to face a gagging order.

Manhattan’s Acting Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has been described as a ‘no-nonsense judge’ who wouldn’t hesitate to jail someone for a breach of a gag order.

On Sunday morning, Trump’s campaign announced that the former president would make a speech at his Mar-a-Lago home on Tuesday evening after returning from New York.

That could now be in doubt.

But it did not change his Sunday schedule. He headed to his West Palm Beach golf club where he could be seen playing the course accompanied by one of his lawyers, Lindsey Halligan.

At the same time it emerged that his legal team will lodge a motion to immediately dismiss the case against him.

‘We will take the indictment. We will dissect it,’ Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina told CNN on Sunday morning.

‘The team will look at every, every potential issue that we will be able to challenge, and we will challenge.

‘And of course, I very much anticipate a motion to dismiss coming because there’s no law that fits this.’

Taken together they mark the latest twists in a fast running story that exploded into life on Thursday when it emerged that a Manhattan jury voted to indict the former president.

Trump is [flying] to New York [] aboard his private jet. After arriving at LaGuardia airport he will spend the night at Trump Tower, according to campaign officials.

He is expected to plead not guilty and is planning to return to Florida as soon as possible. 

In the meantime the indictment has bolstered his poll numbers and led to a bump in campaign donations.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
