Hush money trial in New York: Prosecutor wants Trump muzzled. The aim is to prevent the ex-president from attacking witnesses or revealing the identities of the jurors.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg also requested that Trump be barred from making comments about the prosecutors handling the case. Trump is appealing against a fine of millions for financial fraud. The 77-year-old is well ahead in his Republican Party's primaries and is heading towards running against President Joe Biden in the November election.
