  • Donald Trump's legal team has asked the judge in his Manhattan trial to lift his gag order.
  • Without it, Trump could attack Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels, the judge's daughter, and jurors.
  • Prosecutors asked the judge to keep the gag on at least through his sentencing.

The prosecutors in former President Donald Trump's hush-money case want him to remain under a gag order, warning that lifting it would threaten court proceedings and "interfere with the fair administration of justice."
