TL;DR

Former President Donald Trump criticized a New York judge's daughter less than 24 hours after the judge issued a gag order against him, claiming it was an attempt to deprive him of his First Amendment rights. The judge, presiding over the hush money trial involving Trump and Stormy Daniels, had barred Trump from making public statements about individuals involved in the case. Trump's personal attacks on the judge's daughter were deemed petty and unnecessary by legal experts, while a far-right activist alleged a conflict of interest due to the daughter's purported political connections. The trial is scheduled to begin on April 15, with Trump facing 91 felony counts in total.
