Judge rolls back parts of Trump gag order ahead of sentencing in New York criminal case
CNN
Donald Trump can now publicly talk about witnesses like Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels who testified at his New York criminal trial per a court order Tuesday rolling back parts of a gag order Judge Juan Merchan imposed before the trial began.
Former President Donald Trump can now publicly speak about witnesses like Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels who testified at his New York criminal trial per a court order on Tuesday that rolls back parts of a gag order Judge Juan Merchan imposed before the trial began. Trump, however, cannot discuss any prosecutor, court staffer or their family members as the latest order from Merchan upholds that portion of the gag order. That aspect of the gag order remains in effect at least until his sentencing, which is set for July 11, the latest ruling says. The new order Tuesday also lifts the bar on public statements about jurors but notes disclosure of any personally identifying information of any juror is still prohibited. This story is breaking and will be updated.

Registered voters who watched CNN’s presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump largely think Trump outperformed Biden, according to a CNN poll of debate watchers conducted by SSRS, with most saying they have no real confidence in Biden’s ability to lead the country. At the same time, a majority who tuned in say it had little or no effect on their choice for president.
