Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial and subsequent conviction, has lifted parts of the former president’s gag order.
Trump was previously barred from talking about witnesses, jurors and potential jurors, counsel from the prosecution, and related family members. Merchan lifted parts of the gag order Tuesday, allowing him to comment on jurors and witnesses such as Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg did not object to lifting the gag order on witnesses, but he urged Merchan to keep the order in place against individual prosecutors and others involved.
