A gag order would be in violation of the First Amendment. Generally speaking, gag orders in a criminal context are unconstitutional, whether applied to the lawyer or applied to the defendant. It has to be very narrowly tailored and they have to show a compelling public interest. So, for example, on the eve of a jury trial [they can] restrain what someone can say that won’t come into evidence at the trial. That’s the very limited scope in which higher courts have allowed gag orders. Otherwise, they’re just flat out unconstitutional.

So if this judge attempts to do that it will show again this judge’s incapacity to be impartial, [it will] show the political prejudice and prosecutorial tendencies of this prosecution if they request such a gag order. It will be a First Amendment violation. I’m sure the president will take it up on appeal immediately all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States and it’s the kind of case the Supreme Court is likely to take because if by merely charging someone you can prevent your political opponent from campaigning, then that would be a serious problem…The judge can try a gag order, it may be temporarily enforceable, but it’s not constitutionally enforceable and I anticipate it’ll be set aside if the judge does it.

Yes, like Upstate NY or Staten Island. Barnes also mentioned he's not impressed with President Trump's lawyers. He says Alan Dershowitz has a track record of success and would be the right lawyer to lead in this case.

The democrats truly do fear Donald Trump, down to the marrow of their bones. So much so that they have abandoned all principles and ideals (i.e., democracy) in their ruthless effort to destroy one man. The democrat party is destroying itself. The democrat party is a dying party. So too the party of Bush, McCain, and McConnell. To say they won't "go gently" is a great understatement.

I watched as Alan Dershowitz explained why he isn't part of Trump's defense team. He said his defense is a one of a kind action, that he doesn't make a habit of defending the same defendant more than once. Also, that he's more interested in upholding 'the rule of law' than defending individuals. Dershowitz is adamant that Trump can't get a fair trial in Manhattan and the venue should be changed. Also adamant that the case and charges against Trump have no legal merit.

Nuts!
Alan Dershowitz, a true liberal, has spent 60 years of his life defending the Constitution and 'rule of law'.

But, I understand where you're coming from. Alan Dershowitz is not one of the Marxist Communist Socialist Progressive America hating extremists you love so much.

The case against Donald Trump makes mention of payoffs to three people, but the former president is facing criminal charges for settlements made with one of them: porn star Stormy Daniels, identified in charging documents as Woman 2.

A reminder that Donald Trump denies he had an affair with Daniels and has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges against him.

Here's what the prosecutors have to say:

They mention the infamous Access Hollywood tape which emerged during the 2016 election campaign, showing Trump bragging that he would grab women by their genitals
After the leak, Trump and his campaign staff "were concerned that the tape would harm his viability as a candidate and reduce his standing with female voters in particular"

Sometime after the tape was revealed to the public, AMI executives learned of "another woman who alleged she had a sexual encounter with [Trump] while he was married" - Daniels - and contacted Michael Cohen

Cohen negotiated a deal with Daniels' lawyer for her silence over the affair, in order to "prevent disclosure of the damaging information in the final weeks before the presidential election"

Trump did not want to make the $130,000 payment and directed Cohen to delay for as possible, because "if they could delay the payment until after the election, they could avoid paying altogether, because at that point it would not matter if the story became public"

But - "with pressure mounting and the election approaching" - Trump "agreed to the payoff" and "confirmed" he would pay Cohen back

On or about 27 October 2016, Cohen made the payment via a wire transfer to Daniels' lawyer

After being elected president, Trump is accused of paying Cohen the money back in payments falsely recorded as being for for "legal services"

"In total, 34 false entries were made in New York business records to conceal the initial covert $130,000 payment," the prosecutors say
