Donald Trump's lawyers urges judge to lift gag order in hush money case

Donald Trump's lawyers noted that Democratic President Joe Biden's campaign had referred to Trump as a "convicted felon". They said the order might limit Trump's ability to respond to attacks from Biden during their June 27 presidential debate - though the order only restricts Trump's public statements about jurors, witnesses and other individuals involved in the court proceedings, and does not prevent him from criticizing the case in general.
