Trump's gag order remains in NYC case even though the trial is over

[gwg77]

New York’s highest court on Tuesday dismissed former President Donald Trump’s appeal of the gag order in his criminal hush money trial.

The New York Court of Appeals in a brief decision declined to hear Trump’s bid “upon the ground that no substantial constitutional question is directly involved.”

The decision means Trump’s gag order, which bars him from speaking about jurors, witnesses and other parties involved in the Manhattan Supreme Court case, remains in effect.

Trump’s attorneys have also asked Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the trial, to terminate the gag order because the trial is over.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office, however, urged Merchan to keep the restrictions in place, at least until after a sentencing hearing is held and certain post-trial motions are resolved.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement that the former president and his legal team “will continue to fight against the unconstitutional Gag Order imposed by Justice Merchan.”

The order “wrongfully silences” Trump “at the height of his campaign,” Cheung said, adding that voters “have a fundamental right to hear his message.”

Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche and a spokesperson for the Manhattan DA declined to comment.

These big NY libs are afraid of Trump and what he can say about them. Wonder why.

LOL. Courts tell the orange moron to go fuk himself.


Any intelligent legally acute person knows to STFU even if you feel it is a bad ruling. In this instance, it's a question of whether the ruling denied Trump a constitutional right to free speech. Of course, no one denied the orange moron any free speech so punishing him for ignoring a order is appropriate.


Basically, the gag order stays because the felon likes to rile up his fanatical cultist base to violence.
