Conroy calls this post particularly 'disturbing,' noting that Trump added to the quote.

Watters didn't initially say, 'to get on the Trump jury.'

That was Trump's embellishment.

'That was last Wednesday evening that that was going on,' Conroy says.

The next day, Conroy noted, a juror wound up getting cold feet because of the fear of disclosure of personal information.

'We ended up losing a juror,' Conroy says, adding that was what the gag order was designed to prevent.

Conroy:

'There is no doubt that the defendant made these statements.'

He adds that Trump's addition to the Watters statement goes to the former president's 'willfulness.'

Conroy:

'All of the posts here are made concerning the criminal proceeding.' [...]

'It's just very clear that they were linked to this case.'

Conroy, disputing the notion that Trump is simply engaging in political speech:

'Throwing a 'MAGA' into a post doesn't make it political. It may make it more ominous.'

Conroy confronts Trump's defense that he's just responding to attacks by Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.

The Appellate Division informed him otherwise, the prosecutor notes.

'He knows he's forbidden. That's what the order says.'

Conroy:

'By his logic, if someone not covered by the order says something mean,' then he can attack them.

That view is 'tortured at best' and would 'eviscerate the clear meaning of this order' if the court would adopt that, the prosecutor adds.

Conroy:

Trump is violating the 'crystal-clear, unequivocal lines' of the court's gag order.

He pivots to the argument that reposts aren't his statements.

'That flies in the case of common sense.'

Up next: Trump's lead attorney Todd Blanche

'Just to set the record very straight and clear: President Trump does know what the gag order' allows him to do and not do.

Blanche claims that there's been no violation.
