The judge overseeing the New York case against former President Donald Trump has declined to impose a gag order on the defendant while expressing concern about his use of social media, where the Republican — indicted by a grand jury on 34 felony counts related to a 2016 hush payment to an adult film star — has warned of "death and destruction" over his prosecution and directly attacked the man in charge of it.
