TL;DR Summary

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has asked a judge to clarify whether the gag order restricting Donald Trump's public statements about the hush money case also applies to his family members, citing concerns about potential trial witnesses and jurors facing attacks. Trump's attorneys argue that the order does not apply as claimed by prosecutors and that any expansion of it would require full adversarial briefing. The judge's prior ruling ordered Trump to refrain from making public statements about potential witnesses and others involved in the case, with Trump's campaign spokesman calling the order unconstitutional. The hush money case against Trump is scheduled to go to trial on April 15.
