BREAKING: Liberal Media And Trump Join Forces In Opposing Bragg’s Gag Order

A consortium of liberal media outlets has joined a legal petition with former President Donald Trump to oppose attempts by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to limit public access to evidence that will be presented in his trial against Trump.

Citing the letter, which was signed and reported by NBC News, the president’s attorneys argued against “requiring the advance sealing or redaction of court filings or their exhibits in this case.”

“We similarly oppose any Order which would require any Party to seek consent from the opposing party before filing any motion in unredacted form on the public docket,” Susan Necheles, Joe Tacopina and Todd Blanche wrote to New York state Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the trial.

The former president’s latest move comes on top of his previous petition to prevent Bragg from limiting Trump’s ability to view the evidence presented against him. DA Bragg has brought 34 felony charges alleging the president obscured business and campaign finance records when he directed his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen to pay $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels to settle rumors of an affair just days before the 2016 election.

The trial, expected to take place next year, will surely garner heavy media attention alongside President Trump’s campaign to return to the White House. By siding with liberal media outlets, the ex-president has made a calculated decision to partner with outlets that will likely report any negative development against him in Bragg’s case. Trump has frequently used mainstream media outlets as a foil and likely will again should his interests diverge.

Sealing evidence is not the only clandestine maneuver by DA Bragg as he prepares for court: the Democrat recently acquiesced to a subpoena by House Republicans requiring a former attorney in his office to testify about why Bragg previously decided against bringing charges against Trump before changing course earlier this year.
