Prosecutors asked the judge to keep the gag order in place until Trump's sentencing hearing next month.
Manhattan prosecutors are urging Judge Juan Merchan to keep former President Donald Trump under a gag order until his sentencing hearing next month.Prosecutors with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office filed a response to Trump's request to have the gag order immediately lifted since a verdict has been reached. The jury in Trump's hush money trial found the presumptive Republican nominee guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records last week.
Trump's team asked that the gag order be terminated 'now that the trial is concluded,' stressing that the matter is even more pertinent now that President Joe Biden has publicly commented on the verdict against Trump and because the first presidential debate is set for June 27.
