    Donald Trump’s lawyers on Friday filed a response to prosecutors’ Thursday filing, arguing that any threats the former president could have triggered against Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron or his court staff are ‘irrelevant’ to the need for a gag order in the case Trump faces in Washington, D.C.,” The Messenger reports.

    They’re actually arguing that he has a right to threaten court staff?
