(Gateway Pundit) Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose election campaign received significant funding from radical left billionaire George Soros, has filed a motion to hold former President Donald Trump in contempt of court.
The motion alleges that Trump violated a gag order set by Judge Juan Merchan during the jury selection phase of the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial.
Earlier this month, far-left judge Merchan expanded Trump’s gag order and barred the former president from criticizing his family members. In March, Judge Merchan issued a gag order against Trump.
President Trump said he will continue to tell the truth and “gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela” and is willing to “sacrifice my Freedom for that worthy cause.”
“Now, we have Merchan, who is not allowing me to talk, thereby violating the Law and the Constitution, all at once. It is so bad what he is trying to get away with – How was he even chosen for this case??? I heard he fought like hell to get it, and all of the rest of them also! If this Partisan Hack wants to put me in the “clink” for speaking the open and obvious TRUTH, I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela – It will be my GREAT HONOR. We have to Save our Country from these Political Operatives masquerading as Prosecutors and Judges, and I am willing to sacrifice my Freedom for that worthy cause. We are a Failing Nation, but on November 5th, we will become a Great Nation again. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said on Truth Social a couple of weeks ago.
The Manhattan DA’s office said in the motion that Trump’s actions, which included labeling Cohen as a “disgraced attorney and felon” in one of his posts and referring to Judge Merchan and prosecutors as “thugs,” represent a willful violation of the court’s directives.
The motion said:
