Trump Seeks to Lift Gag Order in Hush Money Case

Donald Trump's attorneys have requested a New York judge to lift the gag order imposed on the former president during his hush money trial, arguing that the trial's conclusion removes the need for such restrictions. They cited Trump's First Amendment rights and pointed to public comments from President Biden and others involved in the case. The gag order, initially imposed to prevent Trump from making inflammatory statements about witnesses and court personnel, was expanded after Trump violated it multiple times. Trump's sentencing is scheduled for July 11.
