Manhattan prosecutors asked a judge Monday to impose a “narrowly tailored” gag order on Donald Trump that’d prevent him from publicly disparaging nearly everyone involved in his criminal hush money case, aside from District Attorney Alvin Bragg himself.
Even prior to the start of the trial, which is slated to kick off next month, prosecutors reported they’ve received “an extraordinary surge” in threats that stem from their prosecution of the former president and his repeated tirades against them.
If approved, the gag order would bar Trump from publicly bashing witnesses, lawyers involved in the case, court staff, and all of their loved ones. That’d include Trump being barred from speaking about his former personal attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen.
