No
Interesting though
At the request of Trump’s lawyers, Justice Juan Merchan has instructed prosecutors to ask Michael Cohen — who’s expected to take the witness stand Monday — to stop publicly talking about the case and Trump,” Politico reports.
Eta oh wait that’s not accurate politico.
Fact is judge canNOT order him to stop talking. Fact: at the request of Trump’s side, they asked he be stopped, the judge said he has no authority to do that but he did ask the prosecutors to ASK Cohen to knock it off.
That is NOT the same as being “ordered” to.
