One has to wonder whether Judge Juan Merchan will impose similar restrictions on Bragg, but he probably won't need to issue that order. Letitia James wanted to litigate her lawsuit in the media, but I think Bragg wants a lower personal profile. 

Otherwise, these conditions are not really even a gag order per se, more of a comportment order.
