February 27, 2024Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is seeking a gag order to limit Trump's public comments on potential witnesses and jurors in his hush money trial.
The DA's office wants to present the 'Access Hollywood' tape as evidence in the trial where Trump faces 34 felony charges.
Trump is accused of using Michael Cohen to conceal an affair with Stormy Daniels, impacting the 2016 election.
Trump's defense demands include barring key witnesses like Cohen and Daniels and excluding certain quotes from the trial.
