The gag order barring Donald Trump from speaking publicly about the staff of the judge overseeing his ongoing New York civil fraud trial has been temporarily lifted.

Judge David Friedman – with the state’s Appellate Division, First Department – issued the ruling from the bench Thursday afternoon, citing free speech concerns.

Friedman lifted Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron’s gag order from the first week of trial, finding that the order could be a violation of Trump’s constitutional right to free speech.
