Will Trump be muzzled? Judge faces critical gag order choice

The judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s case in New York faces a difficult and politically thorny early decision: whether to impose a gag order on Trump and others in the case. 

A gag order could limit what Trump can say about the case just as he is preparing to use it as part of his campaign messaging, reflecting how the political and legal worlds are colliding in an unprecedented way with the indictment of a former president.
