Trump seeks to deny prosecutors' gag-order motion in documents case
==========

Lawyers for Donald Trump have asked a federal judge to reject prosecutors' request for a gag order limiting what the former U.S. president can say about law enforcement officers involved in the case accusing him of mishandling sensitive documents. Trump's team also asked the judge to impose sanctions and pursue civil contempt findings against "all government attorneys who participated in the decision to file the motion." Prosecutors have brought 40 counts of illegally retaining sensitive national security documents against Trump in the documents case. On Friday, prosecutors asked the judge to review Trump's bail conditions and issue an order to prevent him from making statements that pose a danger to law enforcement. Trump's criminal trial in New York, on charges that he falsified business records to cover up a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, is scheduled to resume on Tuesday with closing arguments. Trump also faces charges in Washington and Georgia over attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Biden.
