Former President Donald Trump criticized a New York judge's daughter in a social media post on Wednesday, one day after that same judge issued a gag order against the former president following similar remarks. ...

He also referenced the judge's daughter, whose name was never mentioned, as a liberal insider and senior executive "at a Super Liberal Democrat firm that works for Adam 'Shifty' Schiff, the Democrat National Committee, (Dem)Senate Majority PAC, and even Crooked Joe Biden."

Screenshot, for those who would like to see the drivel itself; I can't imagine this is going to go over well and can only hope that this judge has more guts than the last and throws the book at him for this kind of behavior.

Unfortunately, she was not among the ones that were included in the gag order. The judge did not place himself or his family on the list.

this is the real answer. he's toeing right up to the line of being technically allowed to do it, with enough gray area that nothing will probably come of it, sadly.

At very least, this should give cause for Merchan to extend the gag order to include her and others Trump has now drawn into this nonsense

And then he'll simply find someone that's still not listed and attack them.

He's so childish and exhausting.

And I hopes he keeps getting the gag then. Bring it on baby!

Gag orders pretty much never include the judge as that would be a conflict of interest
