With trial starting next month, Manhattan DA asks judge for a gag order in Trump’s hush-money case

Prosecutors in Donald Trump's New York hush-money criminal case asked a judge Monday to impose a gag order on the former president, citing his “long history of making public and inflammatory remarks" about people involved in his legal cases. The Manhattan district attorney's office asked that Trump be barred from making or directing others to make public statements about potential witnesses, prospective jurors and members of the prosecution team and their families other than District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Jury selection in the case is scheduled to begin March 25.
