New York, Jun 21 (AP) Manhattan prosecutors are urging the judge overseeing Donald Trump's criminal hush money case to uphold a gag order that bars the Republican former president from criticising jurors, court staff, or members of the prosecution that convicted him.

In court papers filed Friday, prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney's office argued portions of the gag order remained necessary given Trump's “singular history of inflammatory and threatening public statements.” They agreed that one provision of the gag order that prevented Trump from attacking trial witnesses in the case could be lifted.
