Manhattan Prosecutors Demand Upholding of Gag Order in Trump Hush Money Case

Manhattan prosecutors urge the judge to maintain a gag order preventing Donald Trump from criticising jurors, court staff, or prosecution members in his criminal hush money case. Prosecutors highlighted Trump's history of inflammatory statements but agreed to lift a provision barring attacks on trial witnesses.

Manhattan prosecutors are pushing for a gag order that prevents Donald Trump from criticising jurors, court staff, or prosecution team members involved in his criminal hush money case. The judge overseeing the case is being urged to maintain this restriction.

In court papers filed on Friday, the Manhattan district attorney's office argued that portions of the gag order remain necessary due to Trump's "singular history of inflammatory and threatening public statements." However, prosecutors agreed that the part of the gag order preventing Trump from attacking trial witnesses could be removed.

Trump's attorneys have called for Judge Juan M. Merchan to lift the gag order, particularly after the trial concluded last month.
