The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is firing back at Donald Trump's request from yesterday

where Donald Trump and his lawyers requested in connection with the criminal case where

Donald Trump was convicted on 34 separate felony counts

that the gag order be lifted and Donald Trump be permitted to attack the judge's

daughter and the prosecution teams, family members, and the jury and witnesses.

The prosecutors in their letter that was sent this morning to Justice Mershahn says we should not have any of the

gag order restrictions imposed on Donald Trump lifted until at least after

sentencing takes place, which is scheduled for July 11th.

We can have a normal briefing schedule where Donald Trump's lawyers can submit their briefs

to your honor about why they say the gag order should be lifted.

We'll respond on June 27th and you can decide thereafter, but we should not in any way precipitously remove these gag order restrictions because there is still an urgent need to protect the integrity of these proceedings and the district attorney's office also intimates that in their briefing they are going to be pointing out to justice Mershahn who is presiding over this action a whole host of Donald Trump's other conduct

that is why the gag order should remain in effect and also I'm sure at sentencing the district

attorney's office is going to bring up all of Donald Trump's behavior from even

before the indictment was brought where Donald Trump was

posting photos of himself with the baseball bat as though he was going to

bludgeon the district attorney Alvin Bragg in in the face Donald Trump's consistent attacks on the jury

on the judicial system on witnesses calling a witness horse face,

Donald Trump's behavior since the jury verdict

has been atrocious as well with multiple gag order

violations.

Here's the letter that was submitted

by the district attorney's office.
