Judge partially lifts Trump hush money gag order

A New York judge partially lifted a gag order on Donald Trump following the Republican presidential candidate's conviction on criminal charges stemming from an effort to influence the 2016 election by buying an adult film star's silence.

Prosecutors said last week that Mr Trump’s supporters had attempted to identify jurors and threatened violence against them.The former president told Newsmax he felt it was unfair that the gag order was only partially lifted."What does partial mean?" Mr Trump said."The gag order has to be lifted in its entirety."

Mr Trump, elected to a four-year term that year, denies the alleged 2006 encounter and has vowed to appeal his conviction. Sentencing is scheduled for 11 July, four days before his party convenes to formally nominate him to challenge Mr Biden for President ahead of the 5 November election. In his order, Mr Merchan wrote that circumstances had changed now that the trial was over. However, he said the restriction on Mr Trump's comments about individual prosecutors on the case, court staff and their families would remain in effect through his sentencing.

In a 20 June affidavit, the New York police officer in charge of Mr Bragg’s security detail said the District Attorney, his family and his staff had received 61 threats in 2024.
