The judge in Donald Trump’s criminal hush money case in New York has granted the Manhattan district attorney’s request for a limited gag order on the former president.
The order, by Judge Juan Merchan, restricts Trump’s public statements about witnesses and others.
Trump last April pleaded not guilty to a 34-count indictment charging him with falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment his then-attorney Michael Cohen made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels just days before the 2016 presidential election.
Jury selection for the trial is currently scheduled to get underway April 15 in New York City. The former president has denied all wrongdoing.
