Former US President Donald Trump
Lawyers for former US President Donald Trump have asked the judge overseeing his hush-money case in New York to lift his gag order now that the trial has concluded.
In a letter sent to Justice Juan Merchan on Monday they argued that the court's concerns do not justify continued restrictions on Mr. Trump's free speech rights.
The prosecutor in the historic case where Mr. Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, is pressing the judge to keep the order in place, at least until the sentencing hearing.
The gag order was issued on March 26, banning the former president from speaking publicly about witnesses, jurors, prosecutors, court staff and their family members.
