New York prosecutors have requested a kind of gag order for the defendant in the hush money case against Donald Trump. The aim is to prevent the ex-president from attacking witnesses or revealing the identities of the jurors.
The former US president will stand trial in a Manhattan court starting March 25 on charges he falsified business documents to cover up a hushMoney payment to a porn star before the 2016 election. Trump has pleaded not guilty and says the process must be ended because it was initiated for partisan political purposes.
