Long Time Trump confidant Roger Stone explains why a gag order on Trump would be considered election interference.

GALLAGHER: Here’s Roger Stone last night, also the long time Trump confidant. Many say it was Roger Stone and Hope Hicks and two or three others, Corey Lewandowski that launched the Trump campaign for presidency in 2016. Long time veteran political operative Roger Stone appearing last night with Tucker Carlson on Fox News.

STONE: I think the idea that they might gag Donald Trump is really a testimony to his effectiveness as a counter puncher. He’s used social media and his interviews to very effectively question the falsity of these charges, question the political motivations and funding of district attorney Alvin Bragg and question the bias of this judge. But more importantly, not only do I think the gag order would be unconstitutional, nobody where does it say you lose your free speech rights if you’re charged with a crime. But more importantly, it’s election interference. He’s a legal candidate for the 2024 Republican nomination. He’s leading by closer to 40 points in the polls and this is a very clear effort to try to break his momentum. You can see in the polls a in the money he’s raising that the stronger they hit him, the more his support grows. So I think cancelling him now, gagging him now is a reaction to the way he has rebounded and actually benefitted from what is a naked partisan attack against him.
