Merchan partially lifts Trump gag order – Washington Examiner
Judge Juan Merchan, presiding over Donald Trump’s hush money trial which resulted in Trump’s conviction, has recently eased some restrictions of the gag order imposed on the former president. Initially, Trump was prohibited from discussing matters relating to witnesses, jurors, potential jurors, the prosecution’s counsel, and their families. The amendment to the gag order now allows Trump to comment on jurors and witnesses, including Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg agreed to the modification regarding witnesses but advocated for maintaining restrictions concerning the individual prosecutors and other involved parties. This adjustment to the restrictions and the ongoing implications of the trial are part of a developing story.
