It is the case that is making presidential history. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was the first to Indict a President, and now it looks like it will be the first criminal case to move forward to a trial. Jury selection is scheduled to begin on March 25.
On Monday, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office asked a judge to impose a gag order on former President Donald Trump before his upcoming trial. Trump has been charged with falsifying business records related to a 2016 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. This case also involves Karen McDougal, a former Playboy Model, who claims she had an affair with Trump from 2006 to 2007. She received $150,000 from The National Enquirer for a story that was never published.
The DA says the "Partial Gag Order is about SAFETY." Prosecutors want Trump barred from commenting on witnesses and jurors in the case. They also want him barred from directing other people to make public statements about witnesses or jurors.
