A judge Monday barred former President Donald Trump from making public evidence and other material related to a pending criminal case against him in New York, where he is charged with falsifying business records related to a 2016 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Judge Juan Merchan also barred Trump from viewing evidence in the case other than in the presence of his lawyers. The ex-president is not allowed to copy the material.

Seems Trump has no Constitutional rights at all.
Know what, Juan??
This confirms that President Trump is TOTALLY INNOCENT AND WAS PERSECUTED BY YOUR JUSTICE SYSTEM.
Hope YOU suffer the consequences.
Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, was the director of digital persuasion for Kamala Harris’ 2020 presidential campaign. His daughter has also worked, indirectly, for the Biden-Harris 2020 campaign through a communications firm that provides services for progressive campaigns.
Yep. Appeal everything, this should be thrown out anyways.
Well, isn’t that special.
So, HOW MUCH SHOULD WE PAY ATTENTION TO ANYTHING THIS HACK IS THREATENING PRESIDENT TRUMP WITH.
We were handed a remedy for what you posted at our founding.
People have changed since then.
And Lori Klausutis...
Don’t forget Adam Schiff. :-)
When it comes to Trump the democrats block his Constitutional rights they fear MAGA and the people who support him.
American Marxism on the march it’s why we have all the chaos going on and the invasion of our country.
It’s going to be bad for a long time.

I read elsewhere that gag orders are to protect the defendant from sensational and potentially damaging media that could affect the trial outcome.
Here, the gag order protects the state prosecutor and judge.
Eight years of unrelenting assaults. Lesser men would have folded long ago.
How is this legal? And does this judge actually care?
Former Trump prosecutor mostly mum before Congress on details of hush-money investigation
Former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, who assisted in New York’s criminal investigation of former President Donald Trump, refused to answer questions about the case at a House Judiciary Committee deposition on Friday, according to a Republican lawmaker.
Pomerantz repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during the interview, according to Rep. Darrell Issa, a California Republican.
