- Republican Senator J.D. Vance has called on the Justice Department to initiate an investigation.
- The investigation would focus on Justice Juan Merchan, the judge presiding over former President Trump’s trial.
- Sen. Vance’s request is based on allegations that Judge Merchan is depriving Trump of his free speech rights.
- The concerns stem from the imposition of gag orders by Judge Merchan during the trial.
- Sen. Vance believes that these gag orders unfairly restrict Trump’s ability to communicate publicly.
- The issue is framed within the broader context of protecting constitutional rights and ensuring a fair trial.
