Manhattan prosecutors in Trump's hush-money trial want more sanctions against him.
They say he's posted "disturbing" things about prospective jurors on Truth Social.
They also say he's violated a gag order by repeatedly attacking Michael Cohen.

Manhattan prosecutors in Donald Trump's criminal hush-money case asked the judge presiding over the case to sanction him for attacking prospective jurors in the trial, arguing the former president had repeatedly violated his gag order.
