Trump's new hush-money gag order does not prohibit him from making statements against the judge or his daughter, leading to his exploitation of this loophole to criticize both on social media. The judge's daughter, a Democratic political consultant, has been the target of Trump's ire, with him falsely accusing her of posting a picture of him behind bars.
