NY v. Trump: Judge Merchan partially lifts gag order on former president
Judge Juan Merchan has partially lifted the gag order he imposed against former President Trump--weeks after the jury found him guilty on all counts.
Trump and his legal team have been fighting the gag order since it was imposed upon him at the start of the trial, but ramped up their efforts when it concluded last month.
Merchan, on Tuesday, partially lifted the gag order because the trial has concluded.
Trump is now able to speak about protected witnesses and jurors.
Trump still is blocked from commenting about individual prosecutors, court staff, and their family members. That portion of the gag order will remain in effect until Trump's sentencing on July 11.
