(dramatic music) - AP News, I'm Adani. Prosecutors and former President Donald Trump's New York Hush Money case won a gag order. The AP Shelley Adler has the story. - Setting what they call Donald Trump's long history of making public and inflammatory remarks about people involved in his legal cases, the Manhattan DA's office has asked for a narrowly tethered gag order ahead of next month's trial. That order would bar Trump from making or directing others to make public statements about potential witnesses and jurors, as well as statements meant to interfere with or harass the court's staff, prosecution team, or their families. Their requests did not include District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Jury selection in the case is scheduled to begin March 25th.
