"Until sentence is imposed, all individuals covered by Paragraph (b)" -- referring to members of the court staff, the district attorney's staff and their families -- "must continue to perform their lawful duties free from threats, intimidation, harassment, and harm," Merchan wrote in the ruling.

And although he struck the portion of the gag order pertaining to jurors, Merchan wrote that it would be his "strong preference" to extend those protections because there remains "ample evidence to justify continued concern for the jurors."

Someone help make sense of this. Why would you lift the gag order off jurors but not yourself?

"Why would you lift the gag order off jurors but not yourself?"

The gag order never included the judge, Trump whines about the judge all the time. If you are asking about staff/family, dunno.
