Ex-President Trump's Social Media Posts Targeted in Arraignment.

Prosecutors in the hush-money case against former President Trump addressed his "irresponsible social media posts" during his arraignment in Manhattan, highlighting posts of significant concern. The Manhattan district attorney's office submitted printouts of Trump's problematic recent statements and posts, including a Truth Social post with a baseball bat. The prosecutors asked for a protective order that prevents Trump from sharing discovery materials on social media or sharing them with third parties. Acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan agreed that Trump has the right to free speech but instructed both sides to "refrain from making statements that are likely to incite violence and civil unrest."
