Merchan this week lifted the order barring Trump from talking about the witnesses and jurors in the case, for which he was convicted on all 34 charges and will be sentenced on July 11. Trump still can’t attack the prosecutors and court staff, though. But it “really is in accordance with the law,” he explained, noting how Trump had been found guilty and the case is about to enter its sentencing phase. Kirschner, however, said there could be a “silver lining.”“How many of you think Donald Trump will begin posting and saying things about the witnesses that are harassing and intimidating and threatening and perhaps even violence-inducing?” he asked. “Yeah, me too.”The potential danger that Trump poses to others will be a big factor in determining what sentence he receives, said Kirchner.
