Lawyers for former US President Donald Trump have asked the judge overseeing his hush-money case in New York to lift his gag order now that the trial has concluded.
The letter also cites Trump’s participation in the first presidential debate against Mr Biden, scheduled for 27 June.
Trump will be sentenced by Judge Merchan on 11 July, four days before he is officially declared the Republican Party’s presidentially nominee.
His team has made repeated prior requests to lift the gag order, but those have been denied by the judge.
During the trial Judge Merchan fined Trump $10,000 (£7,800) for violating the gag order, and threatened to jail him if he continued.
The order still permits Trump to criticise District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the case against Trump, and Judge Merchan.
