The New York judge presiding over Donald Trump’s hush-money trial this month expanded a gag order in the case, after the former president attacked the judge and his daughter on social media.
Judge Juan Merchan had already restricted what Trump could say publicly about jurors and potential witnesses in the trial that starts April 15. But Merchan expanded his March 26 gag order Monday to include comments about prosecutors, court employees and their families. However, Trump can still make comments about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the criminal charges.
