Some context:

Former Trump White House Communications Director Michael Dubke suggested on CNN Tuesday that Trump had mobilized his allies and proxies to the courthouse in an effort to “get around the gag order” imposed on him by Judge Merchan.

Yep. He’s trying to violate the gag order indirectly. Unfortunately for him, the gag order specifically includes attempting to have surrogates violate the order on his behalf.

I suspect there’s another gag order hearing incoming.

    “It’s not an 11th violation of the gag order! It’s the first time he violated the gag order in this way. That automatically restarts the count!” – Trump’s lawyers, probably.

    80/20 odds says this judge goes with it so he doesn’t actually have to punish Trump.
