'I'd be very proud to go to jail for our Constitution,' Trump says of gag order
By Kaydi Pelletier
Donald Trump is talking to reporters in the court hallway after trial just ended for the day.
He again blasted the gag order that prevents him from publicly speaking about witnesses or jury members, saying the judge wants to throw him in jail if he says one word out of line.
"That could happen one day," Trump said. "And I'd be very proud to go to jail for our Constitution."

Prosecutors say they have told both Cohen and Daniels to stay hush about the case
By Ben Kochman
Prosecutor Josh Steinglass said his office has repeatedly told Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels to stay quiet about the case -- so far to no avail.
"We have repeatedly asked the witnesses not to do that, but the fact of the matter is that the witnesses are not subject to the gag order," Steinglass told the court.
Cohen has repeatedly spoken about the case, as recently as Wednesday night on TikTok, Donald Trump's lawyer said.
Daniels also posted on X Thursday night, in a taunt to Trump, that "real men respond to testimony by being sworn in and taking the stand in court. Oh...wait. Nevermind."

Trump's attorney asks judge to put gag order on Michael Cohen over TikTok posts
By Kyle Schnitzer
Todd Blanche asked the judge to tell Michael Cohen to cool it with his TikTok posts after Cohen posted a new one Wednesday.
“He’s wearing a white T-shirt with a picture of President Trump behind bars," Blanche told the judge.
"It's becoming improper every day that President Trump is not allowed to talk to this witness, but he continues to talk."
Justice Juan Merchan asked Manhattan prosecutors to tell Cohen to "refrain from making any more statements" about Trump or the trial.
"That comes from the bench," Merchan said.
Prosecutors said they have instructed all witnesses and potential witnesses to refrain from talking about the case.

Two witnesses expected to be called, prosecutors could rest next week
By Kyle Schnitzer
Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass said prosecutors plan to call two witnesses next week — and that their case could possibly rest by the end of the week.
“We expect to call eventually two witnesses and I think it’s entirely possible that we will rest by the end of next week," Steinglass said.
Michael Cohen is expected to be the first witness Monday.
