Is $83 million enough to shut Trump up?

Slate  

Keeping up with Donald Trump’s court schedule is a dizzying task, since he faces two federal trials, a criminal trial in Georgia, and two separate civil and criminal trials in New York. Trump’s lawyers also joined the motion alleging misconduct by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis while also losing an appeal over a gag order related to the federal election interference case. During closing arguments, Roberta Kaplan, one of Carroll’s lawyers, posited to the jury, “It will take an unusually high punitive damages award to have any hope of stopping Donald Trump to have a chance of allowing Ms. Carroll’s life to return to normal.” Trump Joins Fani Willis Misconduct Motion After a lawyer for Mike Roman, a co-defendant in the Georgia election interference case, filed a bombshell motion alleging that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is dating Nathan Wade—one of the special prosecutors she hired for her case—Trump’s attorneys last week officially joined that motion. A Gag Order in the Federal Election Interference Case Can Stay in Place The full 11-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that a gag order first issued by Judge Tanya Chutkan in special counsel Jack Smith’s federal election interference case could stay in place, rejecting an appeal by Trump’s attorneys. The panel made a minor tweak, having the gag order apply only if Trump comments about any known or potential witness’ direct participation in the Department of Justice’s election interference case.
