Maria Bartiromo fibs about Trump gag order: 'He can't say a word about anything'

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo falsely claimed that a judge's gag order prevented former President Donald Trump from saying "a word about anything."

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, Bartiromo told Ben Carson that she was concerned about New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron's gag order, which prevents Trump from attacking court staffers.

"Yeah, and one of the things that I believe, and I'm thinking about as you're talking, is this gag order on President Trump," Bartiromo said. "He's the leading candidate. He is being faced with these indictments."

"He's going to have to testify in New York, and the judge is saying he can't say a word about anything," she added. "Jonathan Turley says it's unconstitutional."

Carson responded by calling the United States a "two-bit banana republic."

"We have to be able to be the land of the brave, the land of the free," he said. "We have to be the home of the brave. We have to be brave and stand up for what we believe in."
