Hush Money-Convicted FELON TRUMP Appeals GAG Order as Gun License Revoked
TRUMPs' Gun License to Be Revoked Following Conviction
---New York City police department to revoke Trumps’ license after suspending permit to carry a concealed weapon in April 2023
TRUMP Lawyers and Prosecutors at Odds Over Lifting Gag Order Before Sentencing
Attorneys say restrictions on referring to participants in trial inhibits ex-presidents’ first amendment rights
The Guardian 6 JUN 2024
Donald Trump had lots of negative opinions about felons. Now he is one
Donald Trumps' license to carry a gun is expected to be revoked by the New York City police department now that he has been convicted of a felony
The former president once boasted that he was so popular with the electorate, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters.” He made the claim in January 2016 during the Iowa caucuses campaign.
Trumps' permit to carry a concealed weapon was suspended in April last year after he was indicted on charges of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to the adult film star Stormy Daniels, according to CNN.
Now, the NYPD is preparing to revoke Trumps' license altogether
Last week Trump was found guilty on 34 charges stemming from a hush-money scheme to influence the 2016 election, including felony falsification of business records.
Trump is due to be sentenced on 11 July but experts say it is unlikely that he will serve time in jail. Trump has denounced the historic conviction as a “rigged trial”.
TRUMP Asks Judge to Terminate Gag Order in Hush Money Case
As Donald Trump fights for Judge Juan Merchan to lift a gag order barring him from speaking publicly about key figures in his New York trial
Prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office are urging the judge to keep the order in place.
“The court has an obligation to protect the integrity of these proceedings and the fair administration of justice at least through the sentencing hearing and the resolution of any post-trial motions,” wrote the prosecutors in a letter on Wednesday.
During the trial – over Trumps efforts to bury a sex scandal before the 2016 election – Trump repeatedly inveighed on social media against figures connected to the case, including witnesses and the Judges' daughter, who has worked as a Democratic consultant.
In response, Merchan issued a series of orders barring Trump from speaking publicly about jurors, witnesses and the family of the judge.
The trial concluded on 30 May, with the jury finding Trump guilty on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records to hide hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who says she had an affair with the former president.
Prosecutors had said they wanted the gag order to “protect the integrity of this criminal proceeding and avoid prejudice to the jury”. In the order, Merchan noted prosecutors had sought the restrictions “for the duration of the trial”. He did not specify when they would be lifted.
Trumps' lawyers Todd Blanche told the Associated Press last Friday that it was his understanding the gag order would expire when the trial ended and that he would seek clarity from Merchan, which he did on Tuesday.
