Trump Gagged After Publicizing Judge’s Family’s Direct Connection to $93 Million in Democratic Fundraising
The daughter of the judge presiding over Donald Trump’s New York hush-money trial has two significant Democratic clients who have raised over $93 million in campaign donations by fundraising off the criminal case. These clients, Rep.

Adam Schiff’s Senate campaign has garnered a staggering $20 million in donations since it started seeking contributions based on Trump’s 34-count indictment last April, per Federal Election Commission records.
A Schiff’s fundraising email read:

Trump's been banned from talking about the judge's family in the so-called hush money case in New York. Why?
