Donald Trump asked a judge to lift the gag order in the criminal hush money case, citing his opponent Biden's campaigning over his guilty verdict.
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 presiding Judge Juan Merchan. His defense lawyers pointed to specific moments last week in which the Biden campaign used Trump’s guilty verdict as an excuse to discourage voters from choosing Trump as the next president.
Blanche argued the justification to lift the gag order is “even stronger” than their previously unsuccessful fight against it while the trial was ongoing, pointing to various public comments made by Biden and witnesses in the case. Trump has continued to rail against the gag order against him and has argued both the guilty verdict and the continued suppression of speech are a form of “election interference” while also claiming the New York case and the three other criminal cases he faces are part of a “coordinated effort” by the Biden administration.during a Sunday interview on Fox News.
