To review, here are the terms of the gag order. Prosecutors seem to be claiming that Merchan's daughter falls into the "family members of any counsel or staff member. We'll see if the judge agrees.

@Uebey I wish judges can be clearer at the beginning, knowing Trump is going to find every loophole.
