Meanwhile the prosecution's star witness, Michael Cohen, is free to continue his daily spew against Trump. That doesn't seem fair

The idea is to avoid witness tampering by the defendant. Cohen is a witness and so off limits to defendant Trump. Trump is unlikely to testify, and it's hard to see how his testimony could be influenced by others. If there was some chance of threats, then a gag order could be imposed, but there is none.

There are several criminal trials that need coordinated schedules (Trump can't be in 2 places at the same time), and moving forward with this one now while the USSC navel gazes is how the schedule developed. Trump has asked for delays in every trial. The facts in this hush money case have been known for years, and so there's no reason for further delay. The voters will be better informed after this trial is over.
