 As it turns out, this is exactly what Trump did. His social media post was aggressive, but did not mention the court staff.

One thing that makes Trump's case different is that the witnesses in his case are also public figures.

This matters because cases like New York Times v. Sullivan give different standards for when speech about public figures can be restricted.

 People were asking for Trump's Truth Social comment that went up to the line without crossing the line.

He attacks New York, Letitia James. He says he is not allowed  "under any circumstances" a jury, and then the usual "in the middle of his campaign" even though he has done everything possible to make these investigations last longer, including challenging every subpoena, etc.

But he doesn't attack the court staff, and the gag order was limited to staff.
