Trump will debate Biden while still bound by gag orders. Here’s what he can’t say

When he faces President Joe Biden in Thursday’s debate, former President Donald Trump will have to watch his tongue.

Trump is still bound by multiple court-imposed gag orders that limit what he can say about his sprawling portfolio of legal troubles.

Those restrictions could prove a hindrance for Trump if he is put on the spot about his recent felony conviction in New York, or the dozens of other criminal charges against him in state and federal courts.

They could also provide an opportunity for Biden, who has prepared for the first presidential debate in part by searching for ways to trip Trump up and get under his skin, according to NBC News.

The presumptive Republican nominee and the Democratic incumbent will both be expected to comply with host network CNN’s rules, which empower the moderators to “ensure a civilized discussion.”
