Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen continues to generate controversy with his TikTok posts, despite being urged by Manhattan prosecutors to remain silent about the hush money case. Most recently, Cohen donned an anti-Trump shirt and live-streamed an image of Donald Trump behind bars on the social media platform, leading to complaints from Trump’s legal team.
In response, Trump’s lawyers have requested the judge to broaden the existing gag order to prevent Cohen from discussing the charges publicly. Prosecutors have confirmed that they have repeatedly advised Cohen to refrain from speaking about the case, but he has continued to do so regardless.
The judge has now instructed prosecutors to convey to Cohen the importance of stopping any further statements related to the case or involving Trump. Cohen is slated to testify about his involvement in the payment of $130,000 in hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels on behalf of Trump.
Despite the court order prohibiting him from criticizing Trump, Cohen has previously used the trial as a platform to condemn his former client. He and another witness are scheduled to take the stand next week before the prosecution concludes its case.
Meanwhile, Trump has expressed frustration over the gag order that prevents him from commenting on witnesses and jurors, describing it as a disgrace. The ongoing legal battle between Cohen and Trump continues to be watched closely by the public and legal experts alike. Stay tuned to World News Live for further updates on this unfolding story.
