BREAKING: House GOP condemn Bragg's move to impose gag order on Trump case

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) voiced opposition to District Attorney Alvin Bragg's re[prted gag order from New York on former President Donald Trump.

The two GOP lawmakers released a statement on Tuesday before Trump's arrival to the New York courthouse, expressing concerns about the proposed restriction on Trump's ability to discuss freely the accusations against him and how he has been treated by the Empire Staet's law system.

Jordan and Comer called the potential gag order "unconstitutional" and accused Bragg of politically weaponizing the justice system in New York. They also argued that such a move would be a violation of Trump's right to free speech.

"To put any restrictions on the ability of President Trump to discuss his mistreatment at the hands of this politically motivated prosecutor would only further demonstrate the weaponization of the New York justice system," the statement read. "To even contemplate stifling the speech of the former commander in chief and current candidate for President is at odds with everything America stands for."

Trump faces 34 charges in New York State. The exact charges against him remain unknown until the indictment is unsealed.

Demonstrators appeared outside of the courthouse in New York, including Human Events's Jack Posobiec, who urged those around him not to give up on the United States. "They want us to go home... they want us to quit. I can't quit. I'm not going to quit, because I'm not going to let the United States of America go down like that," Posobiec said.

Bragg's reported proposal for a gag order would prevent Trump from discussing his case in the media or in public forums, a move that Jordan and Comer argue would be a clear violation of the First Amendment.
