Manhattan DA Seeks Gag Order in Trump's Hush-Money Case, Requests 'Access Hollywood' Tape for Trial

Prosecutors aim to limit Trump's public comments and use controversial tape as evidence in the upcoming trial.

Prosecutors in Donald Trump’s hush-money case have requested a gag order to prevent him from making public statements about potential witnesses and jurors.
The Manhattan DA's office also seeks to play the 'Access Hollywood' tape at the trial, arguing it's relevant to Trump's efforts to suppress negative stories.
Trump's defense argues the tape contains prejudicial evidence unrelated to the case's focus on documents and accounting practices.
The gag order would add to existing restrictions from Trump's arraignment last April, aimed at protecting witnesses and ensuring juror safety.
Trump's campaign has criticized the gag order request as 'election interference,' while his legal team plans to respond in court papers.
