NY Judge Issues Gag Order on Trump Ahead of Hush Money Trial
------------------------------------------------------------

The New York judge presiding over Donald Trump's hush money trial has
imposed a partial gag order on the former president, barring him from
attacking witnesses, jurors, court staff and others. In his order, Judge
Juan Merchan noted Trump's history of making "threatening, inflammatory,
[and] denigrating" comments. The criminal trial begins April 15.
