The prosecutors should subpoena her, put her under oath, and ask her if Trump asked her to say these things. Wonder if the judge could do this on his own?
At the end of the testimony today, criminal defendant Donald Trump summoned Fox Host Jeanine Pirro over to speak with him privately as he was leaving the courtroom. That was reported by NYT's Maggie Haberman.
Several hours later, Trump directed his followers on Truth Social to tune in to specifically watch Jeanine Pirro on Sean Hannity's show. He didn't promote any other show to watch tonight. He didn't promote any other guest on Hannity's show. He specifically directed people to watch only Pirro on Hannity tonight. Why?
When Pirro went on Hannity two hours after Trump's post, she spent the entire interview making comments that would violate the gag order if Trump, one of his attorneys, or one of his official representatives said them.
Pirro then committed what would be gag order violations by attacking Michael Cohen and talking about the jury. She even said that a federal judge found that he was a "serial liar" which would be an especially egregious violation that would likely put Trump in jail if he said it. But he doesn't have to say it because Pirro is saying it for him.
Trump is specifically prohibited from "directing others" to make statements that would violate the order. So why did he want to speak to Pirro so badly after court, what did he tell her, and why did he specifically direct his social media followers to watch an interview where she spent the entirely of it making attacks that would violate the order?
