STORY: A New York judge partially lifted a gag order on Donald Trump on Tuesday following his conviction on criminal charges stemming from hush money paid to a porn star before the 2016 election.
The revised order now allows Trump to speak publicly about witnesses in the case and eases a prohibition on his commenting about the jury.
However, it keeps in place restrictions on his statements about individual prosecutors and others involved in the case.
A separate order barring Trump or lawyers from either side from identifying members of the anonymous jury remains in effect.
Prosecutors said last week that Trump supporters had attempted to identify jurors and threatened violence against them.
Trump's lawyers argued the gag order was stifling the Republican presidential candidate's campaign speech and said it might limit his ability to respond to attacks from Democratic President Joe Biden during their debate on Thursday.
Trump's lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office declined to comment.
