Former President Trump's lawyers have requested the judge in his New York City trial to lift the gag order following the trial's conclusion. They argue that the concerns raised by the government and the court no longer justify restricting Trump's First Amendment rights now that the trial is over.
In response, the Manhattan District Attorney's office emphasized the importance of protecting the integrity of the proceedings and ensuring fair administration of justice, particularly through the sentencing hearing and resolution of any post-trial motions.
