Lawrence O'Donnell Spots How Trump Tested His Gag Order In 'The Worst Way'
HuffPost
The MSNBC host described Trump's post as "the challenge" that Judge Juan Merchan has to deal with "immediately" in the hush money case.
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell took apart Donald Trump’s “juror intimidation” through his Truth Social platform and declared that the former president appears to have violated his gag order in the hush money trial on Wednesday.
“The Last Word” host pointed to a post where Trump quotes Fox News’ Jesse Watters, who recently took to his program to go through descriptions of seven anonymous jurors who have been seated so far.
“‘They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury,’ Jesse Watters,” wrote the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
O’Donnell said Watters claimed jurors “have lied their way onto the jury,” a message which the former president has “endorsed.”
“Those words are the same as Donald Trump writing them himself. That was Donald Trump’s choice to violate his gag order tonight, possibly in the very worst way. In fact, definitely in the worst way he has violated this gag order so far,” O’Donnell said.
