Trump Seeks Gag Order Lift Post-Conviction Amid Prosecutor Opposition

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers have requested the lifting of a gag order following his conviction in a hush-money case, arguing it infringes on his free speech rights and campaign advocacy. The prosecutor insists the order should remain until sentencing to protect the integrity of the proceedings. The gag order, issued in March, restricts Trump from speaking about witnesses and court personnel but allows criticism of the judge and district attorney. Trump is set to be sentenced on July 11, just before being declared the Republican presidential nominee.
