Donald Trump’s legal team is preparing for a New York judge to issue a gag order on the former president on Monday, a day before he is due to be arrested in Manhattan, DailyMail.com reported.
‘The Trump legal team now thinks that the Manhattan judge will take the unprecedented step of silencing the presidential frontrunner with an unconstitutional gag order tomorrow,’ said a source.
‘The Trump legal team is considering adding a First Amendment lawyer to the effort to combat this and will fight it all the way.’
Breaking the gag order could trigger a fine of $1000 and a prison sentence of as much as 30 days, under New York law.
On Sunday morning, Trump’s campaign announced that the former president would make a speech at his Mar-a-Lago home on Tuesday evening after returning from New York.
That could now be in doubt.
But it did not change his Sunday schedule. He headed to his West Palm Beach golf club where he could be seen playing the course accompanied by one of his lawyers, Lindsey Halligan.
At the same time it emerged that his legal team will lodge a motion to immediately dismiss the case against him.
‘We will take the indictment. We will dissect it,’ Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina told CNN on Sunday morning.
‘The team will look at every, every potential issue that we will be able to challenge, and we will challenge.
‘And of course, I very much anticipate a motion to dismiss coming because there’s no law that fits this.’
Taken together they mark the latest twists in a fast running story that exploded into life on Thursday when it emerged that a Manhattan jury voted to indict the former president.
The charges remain sealed but are believed to relate to a $130,000 hush money payment made to adult movie actress Stormy Daniels in 2016.
Later a spokesman said: ‘President Trump stands for transparency and our American Constitution, and any attempt to prevent him, the leading candidate for president, from exercising his First Amendment right is a tyrannical, third-world country move which further proves that this is nothing more than a political witch-hunt utilizing a weaponized justice system.
‘All Americans should be concerned about their rights being violated and any attempt to obstruct President Trump’s right to use his voice in order to speak truth to power should never be tolerated. The whole targeted crusade is a complete political farce by the Manhattan DA meant to manipulate and interfere with an election against President Trump and his supporters.’
In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump said the judge had ‘railroaded’ his former CFO to try to get him to take a plea deal.
‘The judge “assigned’ to my Witch Hunt Case, a “Case” that has NEVER BEEN CHARGED BEFORE, HATES ME,’ he wrote.
Trump is preparing to fly to New York on Monday aboard his private jet. After arriving at LaGuardia airport he will spend the night at Trump Tower, according to campaign officials.
He will leave his apartment early the next morning to attend the lower Manhattan courthouse, before a hearing later in the day.
He is expected to plead not guilty and is planning to return to Florida as soon as possible.
In the meantime the indictment has bolstered his poll numbers and led to a bump in campaign donations.
A poll by Trump’s campaign team found that 51 percent of Republicans see him as their preferred 2024 candidate — putting him ahead of his biggest threat Florida Governor Ron DeSantis who scored 21 percent.
Trump’s team also announced on Saturday it had raised more than $4 million — almost entirely in small donations — in the 24 hours after he was indicted.
