Trump's Legal Team Pushes to Lift Gag Order After Conviction

Lawyers argue the order restricts Trump's ability to respond to political attacks as sentencing approaches

Trump's attorneys filed a motion to terminate the gag order imposed during his falsifying records trial.
The gag order prevents Trump from discussing witnesses and participants in the case, but not the judge or prosecutor.
Prosecutors argue the order is necessary to protect the integrity of the proceedings until sentencing on July 11.
Trump's defense claims the gag order is being used by political opponents to attack him while limiting his response.
Judge Merchan imposed the gag order citing safety concerns and Trump's history of assailing individuals involved in his cases.
