Trump’s comments have already resulted in hundreds of threats to the office, prosecutors said in a motion Monday.
“Defendant has a long history of making public and inflammatory remarks about the participants in various judicial proceedings against him, including jurors, witnesses, lawyers, and court staff,” the Manhattan district attorney’s office wrote.
They are seeking state Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan to gag Trump from making comments about potential witnesses, lawyers involved in the case other than the DA, court staff, and family members of lawyers and staff.
In addition, prosecutors also asked the judge to prevent Trump from making public statements about any prospective juror in the trial.
Twice that year, the district attorney’s office received letters with white powder containing messages.
