Prosecutor Requests Bench Meeting Ahead Of Gag Order Hearing

Donald Trump to testify in New York civil fraud trial

During a pre-hearing session, the judge in the case involving a gag order requested both parties to submit any additional information before the upcoming hearing. Donald Trump's attorney, Emil Bove, indicated that they had nothing further to submit at this time. However, prosecutor Chris Conroy requested to approach the bench, suggesting that he may have additional information or arguments to present.

The request to approach the bench is a common practice in legal proceedings, allowing attorneys to have a private conversation with the judge to discuss sensitive matters or make specific requests. It is often used when attorneys want to bring up issues that may not be appropriate for open court or to seek clarification on procedural matters.

Tomorrow's hearing on the gag order is expected to be a crucial moment in the case, as both sides will have the opportunity to present their arguments and evidence regarding the restrictions on public statements related to the case. Gag orders are typically issued to prevent parties involved in a legal matter from making statements that could potentially influence public opinion or the outcome of the case.

As the legal proceedings continue, it will be important for both parties to adhere to the guidelines set forth by the court to ensure a fair and impartial process. The judge will carefully consider all arguments presented during the hearing before making a decision on whether to uphold or modify the gag order in this case.
