Donald Trump's lawyers are asking a New York judge to lift a non-disclosure order that prohibited the former president from commenting on witnesses, jurors and others related to the criminal case that led to his conviction. After the conclusion of the trial, the concerns expressed by the government and the court do not justify further restrictions on Trump's rights. This was stated by Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche, who asked Judge Juan Merchant to cancel the order banning Trump's extrajudicial statements.
