A list of the order of upcoming prosecution witnesses would typically be given to the defense as a courtesy, but that was not extended to Trump's defense team out of concern that Trump would preemptively attack those witnesses online. The judge agreed that even Trump's lawyers are powerless to prevent Trump from acting out. Andrea Bernstein, co-host of the "Trump, Inc." podcast, and Jeremy Saland, former Manhattan prosecutor, discuss with Alex Wagner the collision course between Trump's impulsive belligerence and the insistence of order in the court.

    I wish people would stop calling him President Trump instead of Mr Trump..he is a former president not the current president
  • @justsayin...2784
    Let's get one thing straight: Trump is not "challenged" by the gag orders. Trump is challenging the COURT to enforce them.
  • @fabigrossi2976
    So far the American justice system has failed miserably.
  • @craigrussell7542
    If the courts won't protect jurors from Trump, what hope do election workers have of being kept safe from similar intimidation?
  • @barbc3824
    A man who can not control is impulses or his mouth should never have the nuclear codes or be near the White House. VOTE BLUE 2024
  • @andercoyote4170
    Insane that a jury is not safe in court with a former president.
  • @larrybrown8180
    Remand the defendant for the duration of the trial. Sequester the jury. Convict the traitor.
  • @TheSupart91
    How about also including NO PRESS CONFERENCE OUTSIDE COURTHOUSE!!!
  • @dwaynethompson253
    Alex... How is you're delivery so genuine ? You're body language, you're vocal intonation, the language you use, your focus; it's extraordinary.
  • @maysville3815
    We just need Trump to do 11,780 days in Prison, which is one more than we need because he did the crime. He really did.
  • @alex35agm
    Don't give Trump anything, except 20 years in prison.
  • @coolcarenvy
    One consistency I’m finding is that no one is calling Twitter anything other than Twitter, I love it.
  • @Rick-np9vz
    This is really stupid! Why do you want him to lead your country?
  • @timothy3450
    He should already be in jail for contempt. The judges threat is toothless
  • @777indigobabe
    I’m asking all media to not share personal information about jurors!
  • @benedictcowell6547
    What astonishes me is that USA courts allow the defendant to sound off outside the court during the trial. It is absurd
  • @sshaw4429
    He asked for their names?.?.?????? WTH!!! Did I hear that right??? OMG.
  • @PhoenixPrime
    The fact that he’s violated his gag order multiple times once again PROVES just how unstable he is! He should’ve been put away long ago.
