Thẩm phán áp đặt lệnh 'bịt miệng' Trump trong phiên tòa hình sự ở Manhattan
27 Mar, 2024
lệnh hạn chế phát biểu của cựu tổng thống được đưa ra sau khi Thẩm phán Juan M. Mercan ấn định ngày xét xử vụ án vào ngày 15 tháng 4, liên quan đến việc che đậy vụ bê bối tình dục
----
The judge, Juan M. Merchan, imposed the order at the request of the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which brought the case against Mr. Trump. The district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, has accused Mr. Trump of covering up a potential sex scandal (vụ bê bối tình dục tiềm ẩn) during and after his 2016 campaign.
The ruling comes on the heels of Justice Merchan’s setting an April 15 trial date, rejecting Mr. Trump’s latest effort to delay the proceeding while he seeks to reclaim the White House. It will mark the first prosecution of a former American president, and it might be the only one of Mr. Trump’s criminal cases to go to trial before voters head to the polls (cử tri đi bỏ phiếu) in November.
The gag order, along with Justice Merchan’s other recent ruling protecting the identities of potential jurors in the case, reflects the volatile atmosphere (bầu không khí đầy biến động) that has swirled around Mr. Trump’s four criminal cases and several civil trials.
The order hewed closely to the terms of one in another of Mr. Trump’s criminal cases that was upheld by a federal appeals court in Washington, which wrote that “Mr. Trump’s documented pattern of speech and its demonstrated real-time, real-world consequences pose a significant and imminent threat.”
In the Manhattan criminal case, Mr. Trump faces up to four years in prison. The case stems from a hush-money payment that Mr. Cohen made — to a porn star looking to sell her story of a sexual encounter with Mr. Trump — during the 2016 campaign. After he was elected, Mr. Trump helped falsify business records related to his reimbursement (hoàn trả) of Mr. Cohen, according to prosecutors, further covering up the scandal from voters.
After Mr. Bragg filed the case last year, Justice Merchan initially stopped short of adopting a gag order, while instructing Mr. Trump to refrain from making statements “likely to incite violence or civil unrest.” But since then, Mr. Trump has continued to attack witnesses (tấn công nhân chứng) and prosecutors, prompting Mr. Bragg to seek a more formal order.
