Donald Trump on Wednesday called out Judge Juan Merchan for the gag order placed on him in the New York falsified business records case brought forth by DA Alvin Bragg, calling it an "attack on the Republican Party" and saying "our First Amendment must stand."
"It is a really bad feeling to have your Constitutional Right to Free Speech, such a big part of life in our Country, so unfairly taken from you, especially when all of the sleazebags, lowlifes, and grifters that you oppose are allowed to say absolutely anything that they want," Trump wrote.
"It is hard to sit back and listen to lies and false statements be made against you knowing that if you respond, even in the most modest fashion, you are told by a Corrupt and Highly Conflicted Judge that you will be PUT IN PRISON, maybe for a long period of time.
"This Fascist mindset is all coming from DC It is a sophisticated hit job on Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME!. Judges Engoron and Kaplan, also of New York, are equally Corrupt, only in different ways.
"What these THUGS are doing is AN ATTACK ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AND OUR ONCE GREAT NATION ITSELF. OUR FIRST AMENDMENT MUST STAND, FREE AND STRONG. 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!’"
Merchan found Trump in criminal contempt for the tenth time on Monday, bringing the total amount Trump has been fined for gag order violations to $10,000.
"Going forward this court will have to consider a jail sanction," Merchan said.
He added that "incarceration is truly a last resort."
Trump is prohibited, under Merchan's order, from "making or directing others to make public statements about known or reasonably foreseeable witnesses concerning their potential participation in the investigation or in this criminal proceeding," and from making "public statements about any prospective juror or any juror."
