New York judge lifts parts of Donald Trump's gag order ahead of presidential debate

The decision by Judge, Juan Merchan comes ahead of the upcoming presidential debate.

The partial lift will allow Mr Trump to make public statements about witnesses and jurors in his hush money trial.

The judge said his 'strong preference' is to extend protections for jury members.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said the 77-year-old's legal team 'will immediately challenge' the entire gag order.
