NY prosecutors urge judge to keep gag order blocking Trump from criticizing jurors who convicted him
SUMMARY
Prosecutors in Donald Trump's criminal hush money case have urged the judge to uphold key parts of a gag order that prevent Trump from criticizing jurors and court staff, but they have agreed to lift the restriction on his public statements about trial witnesses. Trump's attorneys argue that, following the conclusion of the trial and his conviction, these restrictions should be lifted to allow him to fully address the case, especially as he campaigns for the presidency. They cite ongoing public criticism from others, like President Joe Biden and key prosecution witnesses, as unfairly one-sided. The judge’s decision is anticipated soon.
