Trump's former Lawyer, Michael Cohen, said He would Stop talking about Trump during the Manhattan HUash Money Trial. Cohen is a Key Witness.
"Despite not being the gagged defendant, out of respect for Judge Merchan and the prosecutors, I will cease posting anything about Donald on my X account or on the Mea Culpa Podcast until after my trial testimony," Cohen wrote.
Cohen's loquaciousness about his time as a Fixer for Trump, is Legendary. He has a Book and a Podcast, and is a frequent Guest on Cable TV, with the Goal of furthering His quest for Redemption, after His time working for Trump.
As Trump's Personal Attorney, Cohen is at the core of what New York Prosecutors allege was an effort to Falsify Business Records to Cover for Hush Money paid to Adult Film Star, Stormy Daniels, ahead of the 2016 Presidential Election.
Cohen was also a Major Witness in Trump's Fraud Trial. Unlike Trump, Cohen is Not under a Gag Order.
But Legal Experts have been Dismayed at how Cohen continued to Talk about the Case, potentially providing Trump's Lawyers with additional Ammunition for their Cross-Examination during Cohen's expected Testimony.
Trump has also attacked Cohen, One of a series of Actions that Prosecutors argued, Violated Judge Juan Merchan's Gag Order on Trump.
Merchan upbraided Trump's Attorney on Tuesday, when considering Trump's Statements, but has yet to release a Ruling on where the Gag Order stands.
Cohen is already likely to have a rough time on the Stand during the Trial. He was sentenced to Prison for Lying to Congress and other Offenses.
Trump has repeatedly attacked Cohen's Credibility, including noting that Cohen is now a Convicted Liar.
Trump doesn't mention, though, that Cohen was Convicted of Lying to Congress, about something that was supposed to help Trump.
