Defense attorneys for Donald Trump are once again opposing a gag order after the Manhattan district attorney cited the former president’s “ominous language and violent rhetoric” towards Stormy Daniels hush-money prosecutors in Truth Social posts as examples of the defendant’s “long history” of “inflammatory remarks.”

In a Monday filing, Trump’s lawyers Todd Blanche and Susan Necheles replied to Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s (D) request for a “narrowly tailored” gag order by repackaging arguments they attempted unsuccessfully in other cases, asserting that such a gag would violate the First Amendment rights of Americans to “hear President Trump’s uncensored voice on all issues that relate to this case,” namely a 34-count felony indictment for allegedly falsifying business records.

“President Trump’s political opponents have, and will continue to, attack him based on this case,” the lawyers told New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, reiterating that voters have a “right to listen” to the presidential candidate’s “unfettered responses to those attacks — not just one side of that debate.”
