Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg asks judge to impose limited gag order on Trump in hush money case

abcnews.go.com

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has asked a judge to impose a gag order on former President Trump in his hush money case involving adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Monday asked a judge to impose a limited gag order on former President Donald Trump, who is charged in New York with falsifying business records related to hush money he paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

In their request, prosecutors cited what they called Trump’s “longstanding and perhaps singular history” of attacking people he considers to be adversaries, including those associated with his other criminal and civil cases.

The trial in Trump’s hush money case is scheduled to get underway on March 25.

Ensuring he can’t intimidate potential jurors and witnesses means he can’t subvert justice by being a mob boss.
