Mr Trump’s remarks at events in the battleground states of Wisconsin and Michigan were being closely watched after he was fined.
Donald Trump returned briefly to the campaign trail on Wednesday and called the judge presiding over his hush money trial “crooked” a day after he was held in contempt of court and threatened with jail for violating a gag order.
The gag order bars him from making public statements about witnesses, jurors and some others connected to his hush money case. Mr Trump is still free to criticise Judge Merchan. Mr Trump insists he is merely exercising his free speech rights, but the offending posts from his Truth Social account and campaign website were taken down. Judge Merchan is weighing other alleged gag-order violations and will hear arguments on Thursday.
“It’s a trial looking for a crime,” said Ray Hanson, of Hartford. Mr Hanson said he expected Mr Trump’s lawyers would “keep him in line” so he does not violate the gag order, as much as he likely wants to talk about the trial. Meanwhile, Democrats are hoping to remind voters ahead of these visits about Mr Trump’s position on abortion, which Mr Trump has been openly concerned about being a political liability for him and Republicans.
