In a series of developments related to the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has requested a judge to extend the gag order against Trump due to an increase in threats and harassment towards him and his team. The gag order, which was initially imposed before the trial began, prevents Trump from attacking witnesses, court staff, jurors, and relatives of Judge Juan Merchan. Since Trump's guilty verdict on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records in the hush-money case involving Stormy Daniels, there has been a surge in threatening messages towards Bragg and his team. Over 100 threatening emails have been sent to Bragg's campaign website, with some containing racial slurs and death threats. The New York Police Department has logged 56 actionable threats against Bragg, his employees, and his family since early April. In response to these threats, Bragg is seeking to add the prosecution team to the gag order. Trump's legal team has attempted to overturn the gag order on grounds that it restricts voters from hearing from a presidential candidate. However, Bragg and others argue that part of the order should remain for jurors, prosecutors, their staff, and their families due to the high number of threats received.
Steve Bannon, a former strategist in Trump's White House, has urged that Bragg should be jailed if Trump wins back the White House in November. Other Republican-led states have also promised to prosecute Bragg for his role in the hush-money trial. The Missouri Attorney General, Andrew Bailey, has declared that he will be filing a lawsuit against the state of New York for its 'direct attack on our democratic process through unconstitutional lawfare against President Trump.'
Despite these challenges, Bragg remains committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that justice is served. The gag order extension hearing is scheduled for July 11, ahead of Trump's sentencing.

However, the author's choice of words in describing some of the threats could be perceived as biased, such as using quotes from threatening messages that contain racial slurs and violent language.
