Former Judge Andrew Napolitano told Newsmax on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump’s ongoing criminal trial in New York City “is a novel case” that Trump should be allowed to publicly comment on.
Trump was fined $9,000 on Tuesday after the judge presiding over his case found him in contempt of court for repeatedly violating a gag order that restricts what Trump can say about the witnesses and others involved in the case. The former president faces 34 counts of falsifying business records to obscure payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election. He has pleaded not guilty on all charges.
Napolitano said on “National Report” that “you can’t blame Donald Trump for saying what he said” about the case despite the gag order because “this is a novel case.”
