"Manhattan DA Seeks Gag Order on Trump Ahead of Hush Money Trial"

New York prosecutors are seeking a limited gag order on former President Donald Trump ahead of his criminal trial next month, aiming to prevent him from making public statements about witnesses, court staff, and prosecutors involved in the case. Trump's lawyers, on the other hand, are seeking to bar testimony from key witnesses and prevent the jury from hearing certain terms and arguments. The case centers on hush-money payments made to silence allegations of sexual encounters during the 2016 election, with prosecutors alleging that Trump falsified business records to hide damaging information from the public.

Trump's NY criminal case: Federal court battle looms.

Donald Trump's lawyers and New York prosecutors will appear before a federal judge to argue over whether the criminal case against the former president should be heard in federal or state court. Trump's lawyers argue that the case should be moved to federal court because it is politically motivated, while prosecutors say he broke state law. The case involves 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

DeSantis and Trump clash over leadership and interviews.

Former President Trump criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis after the latter's interview with Piers Morgan, in which DeSantis took jabs at Trump's character and leadership. Trump's team is trying to cast DeSantis as disloyal to him in the face of New York prosecutors. DeSantis has hinted at a possible 2024 presidential bid, and polling suggests he could be a top challenger to Trump. Trump-aligned super PAC Make America Great Again Inc. claimed that DeSantis's interview was a result of his falling poll numbers. Trump endorsed DeSantis in 2018 but has since said he regrets it.
