Judge Juan Merchán's decision to declare that former
President Donald Trump had violated the gag order came with a deadline and on
Tuesday he deleted several posts from his Truth Social account.
This is the first criminal trial of a former US president,
with 34 felony counts against him for allegedly falsifying business records
about hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016
election.
The former president has gained notoriety for his alleged
habit of falling asleep – at least four times so far – and for his continuous
complaints about Merchán's silence order.
Todd Blanche, Trump's lawyer, came under heavy criticism
from Merchan during a hearing last week on the gag order. Merchan became
agitated and even threatened to “have him fired from court” at one point. The
May 2 hearing will address additional posts and comments made by Trump that
prosecutors say went against the gag order.
