Gagging a criminal defendant—partic one running for pres of US— is a #FirstAmendment minefield.
Prosecutors didn't request one. The defense was concerned about one. The judge said, 2x, that he wasn't imposing one.
So it was notable how, in such a brief hearing, most of it was spent affirming on all sides that Trump’s 1A rights have & will be respected pending trial.
Of course, we’ll see how Trump adheres to the restrictions of the protective order that exists
