New York’s top court declines to hear Trump’s appeal of gag order in hush money case

NEW YORK — New York’s top court declined Tuesday to hear Donald Trump’s gag order appeal, leaving the restrictions in place following his felony conviction last month.
The Court of Appeals found that the order does not raise “substantial” constitutional issues that would warrant an immediate intervention.
The decision is the latest legal setback for the former president, who has repeatedly railed against the gag order, which prevents him from commenting on witnesses, jurors and others who were involved in the hush money case. But it could be short lived. The trial judge, Juan M. Merchan, is expected to rule soon on a defense request to lift the gag order.
Trump’s attorneys filed a notice of appeal with the state’s high court on May 15, during the former president’s landmark criminal trial. They argued that the gag order restricted Trump’s “core political speech on matters of central importance at the height of his Presidential campaign.”
But the Court of Appeals disagreed. In a decision list posted on Tuesday, the court said it would not automatically hear the case, writing that “no substantial constitutional question is directly involved.”
Trump’s lawyers were essentially seeking a shortcut to expedite their appeal, which was rejected by the state’s mid-level appeals court last month. They now have 30 days to file a motion for leave to appeal, according to court spokesperson Gary Spencer.
Merchan imposed the gag order on March 26, a few weeks before the start of the trial, after prosecutors raised concerns about the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s tendency to attack people involved in his cases.
During the trial, Merchan held Trump in contempt of court and fined him $10,000 for violating the gag order. The judge threatened to put Trump in jail if he did it again.
The order remains in effect weeks after the conclusion of the trial, which ended with Trump’s conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records arising from what prosecutors said was an attempt to cover up a hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 election. Daniels claims she had a sexual encounter with Trump a decade earlier, which he denies. He is scheduled to be sentenced July 11.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office had urged the Court of Appeals to reject the appeal. In their own letter, prosecutors noted the question about whether the order should be lifted could be dealt with through post-trial court filings.
Trump’s lawyers have argued that he should be entitled to fully address the case, given the continued public criticism of him by his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen and Daniels, both key prosecution witnesses.
Days after the verdict, they sent a letter to Merchan asking him to lift the gag order. They followed up last week with a formal motion requesting that the restrictions be rescinded. Prosecutors have until Thursday to respond. Merchan is expected to rule soon after that, possibly before Trump’s June 27 debate with President Joe Biden.
“It’s a little bit of the theater of the absurd at this point, right? Michael Cohen is no longer a witness in this trial,” an attorney for Trump, Todd Blanche, told the AP earlier this month. “The trial is over.”
Messages seeking comment were left Tuesday for Blanche and the Manhattan DA’s office.

New York's top court declined Tuesday to hear Donald Trump's gag order appeal
Only if you consider a pre ordained political conviction by a kangaroo court as being a felony conviction.
True dat. The jury were all crisis actors hand-picked by whatever Democratic leader you're scared of this week.
Y'know, you really need to pick one or the other. Either the Dems are a hyper-efficient fascist organization that controls every aspect of American life, or they're incompetent snowflakes who couldn't operate a hammer with the instructions printed on the handle.
To conclude they're both isn't logical.
MAGA hat-wearing Trump supporter accuses American Airlines of discrimination during flight

A devoted supporter of Donald Trump claims she was discriminated against on an American airlines because of her red “Make America Great Again” hat.
Heather Mullins, an independent journalist, accused a flight attendant of intentionally ignoring her while taking drink orders.
“I’ve worn my MAGA hat every time I’ve flown for the last four years and got thousands of fist bumps. NEVER got any hate,” Mullins wrote on X on Sunday.
“Well, there’s a first time for everything,” she added before detailing how the flight attendant in the first-class area skipped her and moved on to the next passenger.
“She asked the guy next to me and then walked away,” Mullins recounted. “I thought it was odd she didn’t ask me. So when she came back I asked her if I could get a drink, and in the nastiest voice, she was like “No. I’ll be back for you,” and proceeded to serve the people behind me.”
Mullins said others on the flight from Detroit to Philadelphia were shocked.
“I was the last one to get served,” she claimed. “And now everyone on the plane is floored and talking about it.”
Mullins’ post has garnered more than five million views, with most people commenting that she should reach out to the airline and report the employee.
She wrote in a follow-up post that she tried to file a complaint with the airline during her layover but was ultimately told she had to go online to submit her report.
Mullins claimed the carrier called her to apologize and confirm that her complaint was being reviewed after the journalist posted a photo of the flight attendant, along with her badge number,, indicating that she had the contact information of supportive fellow passengers who were happy to serve as witnesses, if required.
A spokesperson for American said the airline “strives to provide a positive and welcoming experience to everyone who travels with us.”
She added: “We are investigating the matter, including reaching out to the customer to learn more about her experience.”
