The Manhattan District Attorney's Office on Monday asked a judge to impose a gag order on former President Donald Trump ahead of his upcoming trial on charges of falsifying business records related to a 2016 hush money payment to a porn star.
Prosecutors want Trump barred from making public comments about witnesses jurors, trial prosecutors, members of the court staff, and any relatives of lawyers and court staff involved in the case.
They also want him barred from directing others to make public statements any prospective juror or jurors in the trial.
"And the need for such protection is compelling," Bragg's office said in its request, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Trump would be allowed to make public statements about Bragg under the proosed gag order.
