While speaking to reporters before leaving the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse, Trump complained that he is subject to a gag order, while witnesses, including Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen, are not.

“Everybody can say whatever they want, but I’m not allowed to say anything about anybody,” Trump said. “It’s a disgrace.”

Before court was adjourned Friday, Trump’s lawyer, Todd Blanche, asked Judge Juan Merchan to issue a gag order to Cohen, who is expected to testify on Monday. Merchan denied the request.

On Thursday, Trump’s lawyers asked Merchan to loosen the gag order imposed on Trump to allow the former president to respond to Daniels’s testimony. Merchan denied that request too, but acknowledged that he was concerned that witnesses were using the order to attack Trump, knowing he can’t respond.

Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass said Friday that the prosecution have “repeatedly asked the witnesses” not to discuss the case publicly until the trial is over but have no “control” over what they choose to do.
