Pretty much everyone agrees at this point that Trump will probably be in jail by Thanksgiving
Donald Trump could be locked up before any of his 91 criminal indictments are tried in court. And don’t take our word for it.
Listen to some revered attorneys, such as one of Trump’s own ex-White House lawyers, and a former U.S. attorney general. Judge Tanya Chutkan, who’s overseeing the case in which Trump stands accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election, reimposed a gag order limiting what the pugilistic defendant can say about witnesses and prosecutors in the case.
Chutkan put the gag order on hold October 20 while Trump’s team pursued an appeal. The disgraced ex-president, of course, has a long history of disparaging prosecutors and witnesses attached to his myriad of legal entanglements.
Special Counsel Jack Smith argued the gag order needed to be reinstated, because while it was on hold, Trump attacked him three times by name… in less than 10 days.Trump also made comments on two occasions about his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, who was granted immunity to testify under oath.
