A judge has partially lifted a gag order on Donald Trump in his hush-money case in New York, where he was found guilty of falsifying business records last month.
Trump is now allowed to make public comments about witnesses in the case and speak generally about jurors in his trial, Justice Juan Merchan wrote in a ruling on Tuesday.
The former president still is barred from speaking publicly about court staff, prosecutors and their families.
The identities of the jurors – kept secret due to the high-profile nature of the trial – also will remain protected, Justice Merchan said.
Trump frequently has spoken out against the gag order, which he claimed is unconstitutional.
In a statement on Tuesday, his spokesperson called Justice Merchan’s decision “another unlawful decision by a highly conflicted judge”.
