"Judge Silences Trump with Gag Order in Hush Money Trial"
A New York judge has imposed a gag order on Donald Trump, preventing him from making statements about potential witnesses, attorneys, court staff, or jurors in the upcoming criminal trial related to hush money payments. The judge cited Trump's history of "threatening, inflammatory, denigrating" statements and expressed concern about the risk of harm and intimidation posed by his extrajudicial comments. The trial, scheduled to begin on April 15, involves charges of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made before the 2016 election. Trump and his attorneys have argued against the gag order, but the judge emphasized the need to prevent interference with the administration of justice.
