Donald Trump's lawyers are continuing their push to terminate the limited gag order in his New York hush money case, arguing that political opponents like Joe Biden, Robert DeNiro, Michael Cohen, and Stormy Daniels are using the gag order against Trump. Trump's lawyers want the gag order lifted, which currently prohibits him from commenting on witnesses and jurors, claiming it is harming his free speech rights. The DA argued the gag order should stay until Trump's July 11th sentencing to protect the case's integrity. Trump's lawyers cited Biden making comments after the verdict and claiming Biden grinned in a "disturbing" way when asked if Trump is a "political prisoner."
