Former President Donald Trump's campaign is livid over a bid by New York prosecutors to secure a gag order against him in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's prosecution.

Bragg charged Trump in March of 2023 over a 2016 payment his then-attorney, Michael Cohen, made to Stormy Daniels. Trump denies wrongdoing and insists the case is part of a political witch hunt. The trial is set for March 25. 

The prosecutors contended that the gag order is necessary in light of Trump's "long history of making public and inflammatory remarks about the participants in various judicial proceedings against him, including jurors, witnesses, lawyers, and court staff."

But the Trump campaign, insists the request is just a bid to limit Trump's free speech in the face of a political prosecution.
