Trump can bash witnesses from his N.Y. hush money trial under looser gag order

• Trump is also still restricted from disclosing any information about the individual jurors in the case.
• The filing comes two days before the first presidential debate, when Trump is set to square off with President Biden.

The big picture: Trump has repeatedly criticized his gag order in the case and his lawyers have mounted numerous unsuccessful attempts at getting it lifted.

• After Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts in his hush money case, his lawyers argued that the order should be lifted.
• An appeals court earlier this month declined to hear an appeal from Trump to throw out his gag order.

What they're saying: Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump's presidential campaign, called the gag order's remaining aspects "unconstitutional" in a statement cited by multiple outlets.

• "This is another unlawful decision by a highly conflicted judge, which is blatantly un-American as it gags President Trump," Cheung said.

What's next: The parts of the gag order that remain in place will be in effect at least through July 11, when Trump is set to receive sentencing in his criminal trial.
