Summary
- Donald Trump’s lawyers have requested the lifting of a gag order that prevented him from commenting on witnesses, jurors, and others involved in his criminal case.
- The lawyers argue that Trump should be allowed to engage in “unrestrained campaign advocacy” in light of public criticism and comments made by others.
- The gag order was put in place before the trial and restricted Trump from making comments about those involved in the case, including his own family.
- Trump was convicted of falsifying records in relation to a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels and is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11.
