Donald Trump earned his latest gag order Tuesday, in his New York criminal case ahead of the recently set April 15 trial in the hush money case. Imposing the order, Judge Juan Merchan cited the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s “threatening” and “inflammatory” statements against people across the legal system.

Trump is also barred from making, or directing others to make, public statements about jurors or prospective jurors. It’s unsurprising that Merchan imposed these limits ahead of trial. That’s not only because of the defendant’s documented and continuing anti-social behavior, but also because Bragg’s request largely mirrored the one approved by the federal appeals court in Washington in Trump’s federal election interference case.
