Donald Trump should remain gagged while he awaits his sentencing in July, prosecutors say.
should remain gagged while he awaits his sentencing in July, potentially placing the former president in a bind as he prepares to debate President, a prosecutor for Bragg who left a high-ranking position in the Biden Justice Department in 2022, wrote a letter to Judge Juan Merchan asking for the order restricting Trump’s speech to remain in place through a July 11 sentencing hearing and through additional post-trial motions.
Trump has been under a gag order since April that bars him from making comments about the jury that presided over the weekslong trial as well as specific witnesses in the case, family members of prosecutors, and the daughter of Merchan due to Trump’s past comments about her work for Democrats who have championed the case against the former president. Trump and his allies raised awareness about her advocacy work in an effort to call on Merchan to recuse from the case.
Blanche also cited the first presidential debate on June 27 as a reason why the order should be lifted. Trump was fined $10,000 for violating the gag order during the trial, and Merchan threatened Trump with jail time for further alleged violations.
