Hours after Donald Trump publicly attacked Judge Merchan's daughter, the judge overseeing his criminal trial in New York, Judge Merchan has issued a gag order preventing Trump from publicly commenting about witnesses in the case, prosecutors, court staff, their families, and jurors.

This comes after a similar gag order was imposed by Judge Engoron in Trump's civil fraud trial along with a gag order imposed by Judge Chutkan in Trump's January 6th criminal proceeding in D.C.

In the event Trump violates this order, Judge Merchan will have the ability to hold Trump in contempt of court which could include punishment of fines or even jail time.
