Original Note:
The gag order covers speech outside the court. It does not cover what Trump can say in the courtroom. He is able to testify in his own defense. Repeatedly in previous cases Trump has claimed he will definitely testify only to then back out. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-falsely-claims-he-isnt-allowed-testify-hush-money-trial-1896802
