Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has voiced opposition to former president Donald Trump's request to have the gag order lifted. Trump's legal team argued that with the trial's end, the gag order should be deemed unnecessary.
However, prosecutors under Bragg's office contend that the gag order should remain in place, citing the court's obligation to protect the integrity of the proceedings and to ensure the orderly administration of justice. In a letter to Judge Juan Merchan, prosecutors emphasized that these interests have not diminished and that the gag order should be maintained at least until the sentencing hearing and the resolution of any post-trial motions, The Hill reported.
