TL;DR Summary

Prosecutors in Donald Trump’s New York hush-money criminal case are seeking a gag order on the former president, citing his history of inflammatory remarks about people involved in his legal cases. They also want to show jurors the "Access Hollywood" tape, arguing that it hastened efforts to keep negative stories out of the press. Trump's lawyers oppose showing the video at trial, and the judge has yet to rule on the requests. The case centers on allegations that Trump falsified records to hide payments made to his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen.
