In a ruling Tuesday, Merchan noted the impending April 15 trial date and said Trump must "refrain" from “making or directing others to make public statements about known or reasonably foreseeable witnesses concerning their potential participation” in the case, as well as about individual prosecutors and court staff and their family members. The order did not mention the judge and his family members — a loophole Trump exploited Wednesday.


The same kind of order happened with the NY civil fraud case when Judge Engoron imposed a gag order after 45 started attacking his clerk, and the order exempted the judge himself - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-rages-judge-law-clerk-new-york-fraud-trial-gag-order-paused-rcna126496
