Trump gag order partially lifted in hush money case ahead of first presidential debate
A New York judge lifted parts of a gag order imposed on former President Donald Trump in his criminal hush money case.
You're viewing a single thread.
So Trump can attack witnesses that testified against him, but he can't attack jurors because the judge left that in place?
Why lift any part of the ban?
He kept most of it in place, why lift any part of it?
Article says he lifted the part on the jurors, which seems dangerous?
The article seems to contradict itself.
You are right, it says that the part on the jurors was lifted, but then a few paragraphs later it says:
"While he lifted that piece of the gag order, the judge ruled that a prohibition on disclosing juror information will remain in effect until further notice."
So if that's correct then it's only the witness that the ban has been lifted on.
But why is the article saying two different things about the jurors?
And why the heck would any part of the gag order be lifted at all?
Weird
Thanks for pointing that out. You exposed me as a half reader of crappily written articles!
I had to read it like six times before I concluded that there was something wrong with the article and not my reading comprehension.
Maybe a third party will come along and help both of us out.
