The US Supreme Court rejected former President Donald Trump’s appeal of the gag order in his “Hush money” criminal case, local time learned on the 12th, it said the gag order“Does not directly address substantive constitutional issues”.
Donald Trump is understood to have emphasised his candidacy for the presidency in this year’s election, arguing that the gag order violated his First Amendment rights and those of millions of his supporters.
Donald Trump had previously been charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in a “Hush money” case in May.
In March, Juan Mershon, the judge presiding over the Trump hush money case, issued a gag order barring Donald Trump from attacking witnesses, prosecutors and jurors in the case. In June, a judge in New York partially lifted the gag order. The revised order allows Donald Trump to speak publicly about witnesses in the case, but limits comments to individual prosecutors and others involved. On August 1, a New York Court of Appeals rejected former US President Donald Trump’s request to lift the gag order in his “Hush money” case.
