Former Watergate prosecutor calls Trump gag order ‘so unusual’: ‘This never happens’
Fox News
Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman said former President Trump's gag order was "so unusual" because he has been "disparaging" the judge in his hush money case.
"This is so unusual," Akerman told CNN’s Fredericka Whitfield on Wednesday. "This never happens, in over 50 years in law practice, both as a prosecutor and a defense lawyer."
He added, "It’s not done, and the reason it’s not done is because once you start disparaging the judge, disparaging people in the courtroom, you’re putting yourself in harm’s way because that’s the judge that’s going to sentence you."
