'Bring your toothbrush': George Conway says Trump risks jail by flaunting gag order
Donald Trump could be wearing a jumpsuit in his near future if he continues to shirk Judge Juan Merchan's gag order.
Attorney George Conway appeared on MSNBC's "Alex Wagner Tonight" to shed light on the consequences former President Donald Trump might face if he violates the gag order, which prevents him not only from attacking witnesses in the trial, but also jurors.
"I think it's possible, because I think he does not know boundaries, and boundaries had to be explained to him, and he had to actually believe that the boundaries are going to be applied to him," said Conway. "And I think before that happens, I think Merchan's going to be very, very explicit about it, like, 'Okay, that's it, you've done this, you've done this, this is it! Next time, bring your toothbrush!'"
On April 23, Trump is expected to appear in a hearing over accusations brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office that the presumptive Republican nominee should be held in contempt of court for violating a partial gag order in the case three times in posts about witnesses Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels on social media.

Bragg's team asked the judge to fine Trump $3,000 for the violation.
And on Wednesday Trump quoted on Truth Social Fox News anchor Jesse Watters who said: “They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury."
In the end, Conway believes the judge is not only attempting to keep order in a case, but also to protect the jurors doing their civil duty to render an unimpeachable verdict.
Conway described Merchan as "very straight, businesslike, very straightforward, and serious jurist."
"I think he's very, very conscious of what he's doing and what he's projecting in the courtroom," he said. "I think he's, and I think he's going to protect the jurors, because that's the most important thing. He, his job is to ensure a fair trial, and that means protecting the people who are going to be deciding the facts of the case, which is the members of the jury; members of the public."
