Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg asks judge to impose limited gag order on Trump

by | Feb 26, 2024

In the Stormy Daniels hush money case, Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg has requested that the judge impose a limited gag order on Trump.

Prosecutors cited Trump's “longstanding and perhaps singular history “of attacking adversaries, including those connected to his other criminal and civil cases, in their request.

On March 25, the trial in Trump's hush money case is expected to begin.

Prosecutors in Manhattan are requesting a narrowly tailored limited gag order similar to the one Trump already has in place in his federal election interference case in Washington, D.C.

Prosecutors also requested that the judge forbid the defense from presenting any evidence or justification for Cohen's credibility in a number of motions filed on Monday.

Trump is prohibited from giving public statements about witnesses, jurors, court personnel, etc. by the judge, according to the Manhattan district attorney's office.

Additionally, the prosecution is asking for a protective order that forbids anyone besides Trump and his attorneys from learning the names of jurors.
