#Trump formally argued that a limited #GagOrder in his falsifying records case must be lifted post-verdict as a presidential debate nears & as his *rivals* (aka the witnesses, lawyers, judge, jury) continue to speak about his #legal predicament during a peak time in his 2024 campaign.
Attorneys argued in a 21-pg motion that Trump is getting hit w/a barrage of attacks from *adversaries* & from a pair of #witnesses who testified against him.

NY Supreme Court Justice Juan #Merchan issued a limited #GagOrder before #Trump’s 6-wk #criminal trial citing grave safety concerns, but Trump & attys argued his rights were being trampled on.
“President Trump’s opponents & adversaries are using the Gag Order as a political sword to attack President Trump with reference to this case, on the understanding that his ability to mount a detailed response is severely restricted by the Gag Order,” Trump attys #Blanche & #Bove wrote in the doc.
