Trump's Testimony in NY Fraud Case Could Be Affected by Gag Order: Former President Trump may face restrictions in addressing allegations during his testimony in the New York attorney general's civil fraud case due to a gag order, potentially infringing on his First Amendment rights.
Former President Donald Trump's testimony in the New York attorney general's civil fraud case on Monday may be complicated by a gag order that restricts him from addressing allegations against the judge's law clerk. Trump's attorney, Alina Haba, expressed concerns that this limitation infringes on the First Amendment and could potentially create an unfair trial environment. Despite these challenges, Trump is still expected to testify, having already done so in a related case. Haba's assertion that the gag order constitutes a First Amendment violation and her self-deprecating remarks about her own legal abilities have raised concerns about her effectiveness as a lawyer.
