The national spokesperson for Donald Trump's 2024 campaign may have violated a judge's gag order by suggesting the jury in the former president's hush money trial was not "fair and impartial."
Karoline Leavitt made the remarks while speaking to Real America's Voice on Thursday.
"I've been in the courtroom with President Trump over the past couple of weeks, and every single day, the prosecution is doing legal gymnastics to try and prove a crime that does not exist," Leavitt told host Steve Gruber.
"This case would be laughed out of any other courtroom in America if it were not being brought by a far-left district attorney in Alvin Bragg who campaigned on getting Donald Trump, not getting real violent criminals in the streets of New York City, and if this case was not being overseen by a partisan, conflicted judge, Judge Merchan, who donated money himself to Joe Biden's campaign."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump said he may not accept the 2024 election results in Wisconsin, a key battleground state in his matchup with President Joe Biden, leaving open the possibility of post-election turmoil.
In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday, Trump said that if he doesn’t believe the result in November's election was legitimate, “you have to fight for the right of the country.”
Trump again says he won’t accept the election results if he loses.
