A Hennepin County judge issued a gag order Thursday preventing lawyers from discussing the George Floyd case publicly.

At least two attorneys representing the former police officers charged in Floyd’s death talked with reporters Wednesday about the case, according to the filing.

In his order, Judge Peter Cahill wrote that pretrial publicity will taint the jury pool and could result in an unfair trial.
