Playbook: “In recent days, Trump appears to have twice violated the gag by publicly assailing prosecutor Matthew Colangelo. And on Monday evening, he again arguably violated it by posting on Truth Social about a witness in the case. Early in the trial, prosecutors had diligently notified Merchan about every potential violation.
