The defense, meanwhile, accused the judge's daughter of having a financial stake in the case.
AdvertisementDonald Trump's defense lawyers and his Manhattan hush-money prosecutors intensified their war over his gag order on Monday, with prosecutors calling the GOP frontrunner's ongoing attacks on the judge's daughter "reprehensible" and "dangerous."
In seeking to expand the gag order, prosecutors are trying "to further restrict President Trump's constitutionally protected speech," the defense wrote.
Merchan has yet to say if he will weigh revising or clarifying the gag order.
The judge's daughter did not immediately return a request for comment.
