The legal team representing former President Donald Trump reportedly expects that the Manhattan judge will put a gag order on him as the case awaits trial.
The gag order could potentially undercut his ability to campaign on the issue of legal corruption during the primary.
"The Trump legal team now thinks that the Manhattan judge will take the unprecedented step of silencing the presidential frontrunner with an unconstitutional gag order tomorrow," the source said.
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung, in response to the news about a possible gag order, told Breitbart News that the former president stands for the freedom of speech and that Americans should be highly concerned about any efforts like this to stifle free speech.
"All Americans should be concerned about their rights being violated and any attempt to obstruct President Trump's right to use his voice in order to speak truth to power should never be tolerated. The whole targeted crusade is a complete political farce by the Manhattan DA meant to manipulate and interfere with an election against President Trump and his supporters."
Trump breaking the gag order could potentially see him slapped with a $1,000 fine and as many as 30 days in jail, per New York law.
After the indictment was handed down last week, legal experts floated the idea that Bragg would implement a gag order.
